# Oprah Winfrey · the top woman of the 2010s

*Decade of 2001–2010 — TOP WOMAN OF THE WORLD.*

## Why number one
The single most influential voice in media on earth.

## The margin
By the rule of the board, **Oprah Winfrey is exactly +50.495495% more right than number ten** — who, this decade, was **J.K. Rowling**. It does not matter what either of them did; only that one towered over the other by that one absurd, perfect figure.

## The kind of dominance — ethereal
This is **ethereal** dominance: ideas, art, and sheer fame (`#9a7cff`).
