Notable by their absence on this year's list were Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Angelina Jolie, who were major players in 2015's list.
"[The world's most powerful women] are the smartest and toughest female business leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, scientists, philanthropists and CEOs making their mark in the world today," wrote Alix McNamara in a piece to accompany the list.
"They’re women who are building billion-dollar brands, calling the shots in the financial markets, and crisscrossing the globe to broker international agreements and provide aid," McNamara continued.
