When I looked at Forbes list of the World's Most Powerful Couples, I saw some familiar names in the couples chosen. It appears that whether its politics, media, fashion or technology, often times, each of the power pairs have been a force in their industries and or field.
Barack and Michelle Obama
As president and first lady of the largest economy in the world, with a GDP of $14.66 trillion, and the third-largest country by population (313 million), the Obamas top the list of the world’s most powerful couples. Michelle--named the world’s eighth most powerful woman by Forbes this year--leads the Let’s Move campaign to tackle childhood obesity. Her fashion choices alone have contributed $2.7 billion to the retail sector, according to the Harvard Business Review.
