7. Arianna Huffington launched The Huffington Post when she was 55
An immigrant from Greece, Arianna Huffington first worked as a writer, penning biographies. But it wasn’t until she was 55 that the writer really broke ground when she launched The Huffington Post in 2005 and named herself its editor in chief.
The commentary and news site slowly gained popularity. In just a few years, the site was recognized as one of the most influential blogs in the world.
Also, Arianna has been named in Time Magazine’s list of the world’s 100 most influential people and the Forbes Most Powerful Women list. Even if she stepped down from her role back in 2016, the company is still a widely read publication.
