Forbes released their annual list of “The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women,” and 2015’s lineup featured 34 women of color, including internationally-known powerhouses, Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, and Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

The business magazine winded down an extensive catalog with well over 300 names to just 100 in eight areas: billionaires, business, celebrity, finance, media, philanthropy and intergovernmental organizations, politics and technology. It then concluded who ranks at which spot on the final list based on international impact and influence, and finances.

The first black First Lady of the United States fell two spots and landed at number 10, with Forbes citing Michelle Obama’s efforts in aiding homeless veterans in America and young women around the world. Oprah Winfrey was bumped up two spots, ranking at number 12 as a self-made billionaire with a growing $3 billion net worth.
