Kamala Harris make Forbes list of 2020's most powerful women

Forbes announced its list of the world's 100 most powerful women of 2020 on Tuesday, December 8, featuring influential leaders from 30 countries in politics, entertainment, business, and more. 

German Chancellor Angela Merkel claimed the No. 1 spot for the tenth year in a row, with European Central Bank head Christine Lagarde coming in second for the second consecutive year.

U.S. Vice President-elect Kamala Harris made the list for the first time, debuting in the No. 3 slot. Forbes said her "rapid ascension in U.S. politics" has "catapulted" her onto the list.

On the Forbes list this year, there are 17 newcomers including number 67, Mackenzie Scott, formerly Bezos, who last year pledged to give away half of her money to charity after her divorce from Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos was finalized.
