What percentage of the list are women?
26%

How would you assess the balance of power in this list and why do you think it is this way?

Males clearly dominate the list, and 74% of the list is males, also in the top 10 only one person I female and she is at number 10. one reason that males could be higher then females is that most males are bought into money and power, more then few people on the list have family that have are wealthy and they were lucky enough to inherit that money and with that money they invested in other businesses. Also as most business are males based this makes it easier for males to invest in the business. Also most channels are mostly aimed at males and because of this it would be easier for a male to own the business and get the right material to appeal to other males.
