Envy These Women Please

Differentiating from the usual Most Powerful Women list, Forbes did a little niching to come up with a slideshow of women billionaires they envy most :

"Imagine for a moment what it would be like to be a billionaire. No more picking up after the kids, doing dishes, worrying about how much a dress costs or pinching pennies to save for an amazing vacation. For the women on Forbes' new list of the world's billionaires, that dream is a reality. But it's not just their 10-figure fortunes that make us envious. Some of these women are famous; some wield enormous power; some have fascinating careers. Some have all three."

Is it just me, or inherited wealth is boring right from the very beginning? The emergence of the spoon people, or so they say -- "Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon" Edward Morgan Forster. A week ago I participated in a discussion about power, most importantly one trying to define power and we ended up with several states of power - positional power, the C-level executives, expertise power, or the revenge of the underestimated walking case studies, and networking power. It's all a cyclical process like pretty much anything in life.
