International Women's Day falls today (Friday) and this is a rare opportunity for Walla!
Celebs, who decided to deviate from the norm and favor five women.
They are all beautiful, they are all smart and they all make her want to get up in the morning and be a better person.
No, they mostly make her want to be a richer person, but that's an article for another time.
Meet those who managed to break through every glass ceiling, bury quite a few men and keep a perfect manicure in the process.

Of course, there are quite a few criticisms of her, but you can't argue with the fact that she has the voice of an angel, hips of steel, talent that can't be disputed and, above all, an abundance of records.
This is the most decorated artist in the music world of all time, when only a year ago she made history and became the person with the highest number of Grammy Awards.
She and Jay Z are considered a power couple with a joint fortune that crossed the billion dollar mark and in her free time she is considered one of the biggest philanthropists.
Among other things, she built housing complexes for the homeless, established study and enrichment centers for girls, founded a charity organization that donates to victims of natural disasters and uses every given moment to explain to us that women rule the world.

celebs, and who adorns most of her study walls.
Like, to be precise.
Judith Sheindlin
was born in New York 81 years ago and was the only woman among 126 men who studied law at the University of Washington.
She graduated, passed the bar exams in New York and was appointed a judge in 1982. Rumors about the witty and tough judge reached a reporter from the Los Angeles Times.
She starred in an episode of "60 Minutes" and after a year she received an offer to star in her own TV show.
The wonderful program "Judge Judy" was broadcast in 1996. Judith judges small claims, sometimes petty and does not spare harsh words from the brave (or the stupid) who chose to stand in front of her in prime time.

The show became a resounding success and in 2018, Forbes magazine named Sheindlin the highest-paid woman on television, with an annual salary of $47 million.
Because the shows are shot in sequence, Judy only works 52 days a year and earns $900,000 per shooting day.
In between, she managed to publish six books with amazing names such as "Beauty fades, stupidity remains" and "Don't pee on my leg and say it's rain".
She supports same-sex marriage and last October, she signed a petition calling for the immediate release of the Israeli abductees from Hamas captivity.

No list would be complete without
Taylor Swift
, a woman with low-fat mayonnaise charisma and crazy ambition who built a career on broken hearts.
Swift has been considered one of the top pop stars for years, but this year she broke every possible record with her tour.
True, Beyoncé also had a mesmerizing tour this year, but unlike Swift, she failed to drive the economies of entire countries: her concert in Singapore alone added a quarter of a percent to GDP. The best example occurred just last month, when Swift came to cheer for
Travis Kelce
at the Super Bowl. According to the BBC, since the musician's name was associated with the athlete's name, the value of the group has increased by 331 million dollars. Sales of the group's merchandise, especially shirts with Kelsey's number, have increased by 400%.
Although the tour is still in progress , Taylor is expected to rake in about a billion dollars at the end. Have you heard,
Kanye West
? Zero.

Oprah Winfrey
is a true inspiration and her story has been told tens of thousands of times.
The one who was born to teenage parents who lived in abject poverty, grew up in foster families and went through several serious rape cases, managed to become a media and financial empire of one woman.
When she was 19, she started working at a local television station in Tennessee and after nine years, tried her luck hosting a national morning show.
The ratings gained momentum and soon the chair in her studio became the hottest chair in the United States.
Every self-respecting star came to stay with her and segments from the show became cornerstones of pop culture.
No, you don't get a car.
Winfrey founded a charity organization and by 2012, donated more than 400 million dollars for affordable education for girls.
She built schools in Africa where girls are educated for leadership and excellence and donated 12 million dollars to the African American Heritage Museum in Washington, an act that earned her an American Medal of Freedom from
Barack Obama

In honor of
Kim Kardashian
entering the hall, let's put the cynicism aside for a moment.
This is a lady who was able to leverage the few connections she had to become an empire that changed the perception of beauty, pop culture and the whole world and no, voila!
Celebs don't exaggerate.
Who started out as Paris Hilton's closet line, managed to leverage a well-planned sex tape into a financial empire.
With the skin of an elephant, new business sense and above all a lot of diligence, Kardashian founded companies in the fields of fashion, beauty and design and in the process she gracefully pushed aside heroin chic and brought her ass back into fashion.
Did you know what a selfie was before Kim Kardashian?
Probably not, and that says it all.
