As the annual results come out for the poll determining who the world’s most admired men and women are, Melania Trump officially made her appropriate list. She is not the only former First Lady on the list, with Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton joining her, as well as other celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey and Scarlett Johansson.
While Clinton ranks number 12 on the list, Melania is behind her at number 16. Michelle Obama unsurprisingly ranked at number one for her third year in a row, with Angelina Jolie also holding down her former position at number two. The poll was given to over 42,000 people in over 38 countries.
Barack Obama mirrors his wife, as he ranked the number one in the list of most admired men, but Donald Trump comes in slightly above his wife at number 13. While none of this is a big shake up compared to last year, both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris actually made it onto their lists for the first time this year.
The award for most surprising answer on the list, however, would have to go to Vladmir Putin! (He came in at #9).
This is the second time that Melania and her husband have been in the forefront of the media this week after an interview in which Donald Trump was put on the spot about whether Melania does not want to join him for a second round in the White House, which he adamantly denied.
Right now it is unclear whether or not Trump will once again run for office, although he is constantly implying that he plans to do so, but what is even more unclear is how Melania feels about it, although her husband claims that she would be happy to be FLOTUS once again.
