Barack Obama
I will cut taxes - cut taxes - for 95 percent of all working families, because, in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle class.

Miuccia Prada
Desperation and luxury are mortal enemies. Fear and power do not peacefully coexist. It follows, then, that she who wishes to reach the most rarefied and potent ranks of fashion, whether in dealmaking or designing, must have a certain serenity. A certain above-the-fray quality. And a flat-out disregard for what you think. Which brings us to Miuccia Prada... Her power, first manifested in the minimal black nylon backpack draped over every influential arm in the '90s, also became incarnate in such celebrities as Uma Thurman, twirling down the red carpet in ethereal Prada-designed Oscar gowns.

Madonna
The webcast of her gig at Brixton Academy in 2000 was watched by over 9 million people worldwide. Her record company Maverick set up in 1992 has helped raise her fortune to an estimated $600m (£350m). In 2002, Madonna received an entry into the Encyclopaedia Britannica as a modern day icon of pop. The 45-year-old has sold over 140 million albums, making her the most successful female artiste ever.
