In the modern world women tries to succeed in everything: in business and in personal life. Women of Kazakhstan don’t like to exhibit their personal life, and it is hard to determine what is happening in the souls of eminent women. However, everybody knows how successful our ladies in building their career. Our independent survey shows whom our readers consider to be the most influential, rich and charming business ladies.
Te survey has been conducted for one month. Our respondents were civil servants and managers of all levels. 63% f them were women and 37% men. The respondents had to fill out the form by writing in the names of the most well known business ladies of the country. 205 forms were collected and more that 25 business ladies of Kazakhstan were mentioned.
The nomination “The most influential lade of the county” was won by Dariga Nazarbaeva (some respondents called her Lady D). More than half of respondents mentioned here in their forms – 57%. Sara Alpysovna Nazarbaeva is on the second place – 25%. And Natalya Korzhova, the Minister of Finance is on the third place – 21%.
However, it seems that the influence of Dariga Nazarbaeva cannot outshine her wealth. More than 78% of the respondents consider the eldest daughter of the President to be the richest woman in the country. Of course, the objectivity of this result is doubtful; it is hard to count someone else’s money. Nevertheless, that is the opinion of the respondents. The second place was taken by the youngest daughter of the President – Aliya Nazarbaeva. She was mentioned 18% of the times. The third place was taken by first lady of the country, 14% of respondents voted for her.
Many more candidates appeared in the nomination of the most charming ladies of Kazakhstan. Almost 50% of all the ladies mentioned in the survey were related to this category. The representation of the ladies’ activities is also wider here. While in the first two nominations the women from the political elite were leading, the show business stars and entrepreneurs also were in list of the most charming ladies. Bayan Yesentaeva, the well-known TV show host and also producer, took the first place. 28% of respondents voted for her. The lady in charge of the country’s treasury is second in the rating of charm – 14% voted for Natalya Korzhova. The third place was divided among Byrganym Aytimova, the minister of Education and Science, and Zagipa Balieva, the Minister of Justice, and Zhannat Yrtlesova, well-known social activist and economist. Each of them received 7%.
Besides the names mentioned above, Sholpan Kulmakhanova, Gulzhan Karagusova, Raushan Sarsembaeva and others were among the most influential, rich and charming ladies of the country.
We congratulate all of our beautiful female readers with the coming holiday of the spring and wish them to extend their influence, increase their wealth and continue to charm people around them.
