Forbes Magazine named drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman — a fugitive reputed to be hiding in the mountains of northern Mexico — to its list of the 67 "World's Most Powerful People" on Wednesday. At No. 41 on the list, Guzman is ahead of Oprah Winfrey and presidents like France's Nicolas Sarkozy and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez. Forbes noted Guzman's profession as "drug trafficker" on the list published Wednesday on its Web site. "This ranking is intended to be the beginning of a conversation, not the final word,""Do despicable criminals like billionaire Mexican drug lord Joaquin Guzman ... belong on this list at all?"Last March, Mexican officials decried Forbes' decision to include Guzman on its list of the world's billionaires, saying that wrongly compared him to legitimate businessmen. At the time, Forbes' estimated Guzman's fortune at $1 billion. The office of the presidency said it had no immediate reaction to his inclusion on Wednesday's list.
