I thought this must be a joke, as I wasn’t aware that his first wife is “famous” at all, so I checked the source, and it is just plain ridiculous:

“Among businesspeople, Ivana Trump ranks 1 out of 847. After her are Howard Hughes, Cecil Rhodes, Pierre de Coubertin, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Oskar Schindler, George Soros, John D. Rockefeller, Jeff Bezos“

But it’s time Rosalind Franklin or Lise Meitner make the list, anyone can play the companion of an emporer or even less, not everybody can make contributions to the discovery of DNA or nuclear fission.

Really shocking Diana isn’t on here. Thought the likes of Susan B Anthony, Rosa Parks, some first ladies might crack the list too, but perhaps that’s too US-centric of me. Also, Indira Gandhi!?
