Forbes 2025 '50 Over 50': Redefining the Power of Age

This year’s Forbes 50 Over 50 list shatters ageist myths by spotlighting 200 women—50 in each category—over age 50 who are excelling in fields as diverse as innovation, impact, investment, and lifestyle. This list isn’t just a celebration—it’s a vital reminder that ambition, influence, and reinvention don’t wane with age.

Categories That Expand the Narrative

• Innovation: This year’s innovators span sectors from medicine to space. Among them is astronaut Suni Williams, proving that frontiers have no age caps.

• Lifestyle: Culture and creativity shine here. Halle Berry leads this category—not only as a Hollywood legend, but also a menopause entrepreneur behind the telehealth platform ReSpin.

• Impact: Women driving policy, inclusion, and advocacy take the stage here. Maria Shriver, founder of the Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement, is a figurehead for change in neurological health.

• Investment: Led by trailblazers like Tracy D. Gray, founder of The 22 Fund and We Are Enough, this category includes women rewriting venture capital’s rules to prioritise women and minority entrepreneurs.

Why It Matters

This is not a nostalgia project. It’s a resounding declaration: careers aren’t meant to follow a single arc. The 50 Over 50 list underscores that reinvention, innovation, and leadership often flourish later in life—when experience meets opportunity.

As Forbes frames it: “…you can pivot in your sixth, seventh, eighth or ninth decade…success and innovation have no age limit.”

The Female Body Speaks

At The Female Body, this list resonates deeply. Women’s health, wellness, and leadership are lifelong journeys. Whether that’s menopause advocacy with a digital twist or steering billion-dollar biotech companies, these leaders show that our bodies—and our aspirations—only expand with time.

They remind us: your story doesn’t peak at 30—it evolves. And that matters.
