Forbes noted that the list was "determined by four main metrics: money, media, impact and spheres of influence."
"For political leaders, we weighed gross domestic products and populations; for corporate chiefs, revenues, valuations and employee counts were critical. Media mentions and social reach were analyzed for all. The result: 100 women who are shaping the policies, products and political fights that define our world," Forbes wrote.
