McMillon Makes Forbes Most Powerful People List

Forbes magazine recently published its interpretation of “The World’s Most Powerful People.” The list of 73 men and women includes Russian president Vladimir Putin at No. 1, World Health Organization director-general Margaret Chan at No. 73, and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. CEO Doug McMillon near the middle at No. 32.

It surely must be an ego boost to be included on a list of individuals described as the global elite, whose actions move the planet.

But, considering the competition between the two retail giants, it must also be a reality check to see Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos ranked No. 17 on the Forbes list.
