That last one got me interested, so here comes the series, to conclude the title.

The world’s most powerful Women.

We’ll start from the bottom and ride it through.

Number ten on the list: Melinda Gates – Gates Foundation/U.S.

Melinda Gates, wife of the Microsoft co-founder billionaire Bill Gates, started the Gates Foundation. The Foundation was established as an endowment to assist the poor and impoverished. The endowment now totaling $28.8 million. She is a former product manager at Microsoft and stood strong on her own prior to marrying Bill Gates with her bachelor in computer science and economics as well as her MBA all from Duke University. Noted as one of the persons of the year in 2005 by Time and also recognized with a “Spanish Nobel” prize – the Prince of Asturias Award for International Cooperation – on May 4, 2006.

With every other aspect of the foundation neglected, they have appropriated nearly 11 billion dollars in grant to global health, education, global libraries and more. I’ll be looking in to her more to plot her on the map but her foundation is productive by statistics, I say keep going.
