In 2022, Jean Smart joined our #Forbesover50 list at age 71. Now, the Emmy-winning Hacks star is reflecting on what her own journey has taught her about breaking barriers — and what she’d say to women who feel like they’re being written off too soon.
"Retiring? Are you kidding me? No way.” Kelly Bishop, the 81-year-old Gilmore Girls and Mrs. Maisel icon, joined Mika Brzezinski, Maggie McGrath, and Huma Abedin to celebrate being named to the 2025 #ForbesOver50 list—and to remind us that loving your work is the secret.
“These women aren’t backing down—they’re doubling down.” In a time of headwinds and heartbreak, Mika Brzezinski says the 2025 #ForbesOver50 list is more than a celebration. It’s a blueprint for all generations of women to follow.
The women on this year’s list hail from every major industry and more than three dozen subsectors, including biotech, pet food, construction, venture capital and beyond. The honorees achieved their greatest accomplishments and are making their biggest impact after the age of 50.
This isn’t a comeback. It’s a revolution. "It's a privilege to age." Meet the women defining innovation, ambition —and impact — in their 50s, 60s, and 70s.
Their biggest chapters didn’t end at 50—they started after it. From Dolly Parton to Anne Finucane, we’re catching up with #ForbesOver50 alumni who continue to break records, launch ventures, and lead with purpose. 👇 See where they are now.
