I find it (how do I put this) uncomfortable, however, that so many of the women were picked because they were film and music stars. While I find their careers "influential", I don't know if I would place an importance on acting and singing unless it is making a positive change somehow either socially or politically. It is like saying that Britney Spears should be among the US' most powerful women.
Anyhooser, here is Mark's post (and thank you for formatting it so well!)

what bothers me is only sara alkar (who's married to a non-Kuwaiti if I believe) was the only one on the list to make her money - the rest had money 'in the family'
