Conversation AGELESS A-LIST

摘要

Youth will be usurped: The annual 30 Under 30 jamboree celebrating the world's most talented tyros has been a Forbes hallmark for a decade, but our June/July issue shone the spotlight on a fresh cohort of gifted entrepreneurs: the inaugural, all-female 50 Over 50. Women of a certain age are perhaps the most undervalued, underappreciated asset in America today, and we're proud to showcase them-starting with the most prominent member of the club, cover star Kamala Harris, elected vice president of the United States at age 56. Readers hailed these women-pols, financiers, scientists, entertainers, executives and more-with unbridled enthusiasm. "So glad to have a list that finally acknowledges that people don't lose their brilliance after 50," tweeted @ShaunChavis. Others were pleased to see themselves reflected in the pages of Forbes for the first time. "This makes me SO happy!!" @bjeweledbyme posted on Instagram. "I'm in grad school at 52, and this is just the kick in the butt I need to keep pushing forward."
