Who is the 'scariest' woman in the world?
Kellyanne Conway, advisor to US President Donald Trump, is a workaholic, sleeps very little, and can crush anyone, including influential figures around the head of the White House.
Mother of four Kellyanne Conway is now considered the most powerful or, according to some political experts, the most feared woman in America. Even if the 50-year-old woman took off her shoes and put both feet on the sofa in the White House, no one would dare to say anything, reported the Daily Mail.
What factors make Donald Trump's former campaign manager the most powerful and feared woman in America?

Raised by women
Kellyanne Conway lived with her mother since she was 2 years old due to her parents' divorce and didn't see her father again until she was 13. Kellyanne was raised by her mother, grandmother and two aunts. "It was like the South Jersey version of The Golden Girls," Kellyanne said.
As a Catholic and non-political family, Kellyanne's wall often has pictures of the Pope instead of President Kennedy or Reagan.
"I don't remember ever having a political conversation," Kellyanne recalled. But when she entered high school and attended a speech by President Ronald Reagan, the young girl was filled with new aspirations.
Different from childhood
Kellyanne learned to read at age 3, but her mother didn't send her to kindergarten until she was 4, the Conway family said. "She went to school for a week and said, 'I'm not going back. I'm just playing all day,'" Diane Fitzpatrick, Kellyanne Conway's mother, said in an interview.
In high school, where Kellyanne was a cheerleader, she developed a reputation for being hard-working and competitive. "Kellyanne was always the leader. She would stay up until 1 a.m. studying, then go to bed and then wake up at 3 a.m. to study," said her aunt, Angela.
"That girl could argue nonstop," said Kellyanne's former teacher, Maddy Gold. "You just had to pray to God for the bell to ring."
Kellyanne Conway won the title of World Blueberry Packer while working on a farm near Hammonton, the blueberry capital of the world. "She was so enthusiastic," her former boss said. "She could pack 300 cases of blueberries a day and pack them so fast that everyone who came to the warehouse would come to watch her work."
Kellyanne Conway has started her own polling firm, even though political consulting has long been a man’s world. To succeed, she says, she has had to fight tirelessly against powerful men.
Motherhood at Old Age
Kellyanne married New York attorney George Conway III, who worked on President Bill Clinton's impeachment, in 2001. The couple has four children, twins Claudia and George, now 12, Charlotte, 8, and Vanessa, 7.
Kellyanne Conway had her first child at 37, and then her second at 41 and 43. 'People say that when you're 40, you're going to have no eggs left, but you still have two eggs rolling around somewhere. Both times, I was surprised,' she said.
The Conways currently live in a $6 million home in Alpine, New Jersey, which Forbes magazine once called “the most expensive mailing address in America.”
People who dare to do difficult things
Kellyanne Conway is the first woman to run a Republican presidential campaign.
Ms. Conway is currently the most prominent of four of President Donald Trump's closest advisers. The other three are Mr. Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, banker-turned-filmmaker Steve Bannon and White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus.
During Mr. Trump's presidential campaign, she managed to make time to appear on six shows that aired before 9 a.m.
President Trump once said: "There's no tiger's den that Kellyanne won't go into. When my men are like frozen when they appear on some channels, I say, Kellyanne, can you do it? And then, she shows up and destroys."
