The 50 Over 50 is officially looking for its next class of women who are proving that success has no age limit. 2021, we launched this first-of-its-kind Forbes list dedicated to spotlighting women who are making their greatest impact in life’s second half. Produced in partnership with Morning Joe cohost Mika Brzezinski and her Know Your Value initiative, the 50 Over 50 is a collection of women who reject the conventional wisdom that their best years are behind them. They’re leading a movement: We received more than 10,000 submissions for 2021’s first list of 50 people. We’ve since expanded the list from the U.S. to Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, South America and beyond. And now, we’re looking to do it for a fifth year in a row. We continue to seek women who are actively stepping into their power in their sixth decade or beyond. We’re looking for new stories about accelerating or recreating careers to reach the highest echelons of a business or field after turning 50—with an eye toward women who have overcome significant odds and are creating businesses at scale. And most importantly, we're looking for an entirely new group of women for this year's class of 50 Over 50; no repeats are allowed for this dynamic list!
