This is ironic. HP's Fiorina tops Fortune chart of business women NEW YORK, Oct. 1 (Reuters) - Hewlett-Packard Co.<HWP.N> Chairman and Chief Executive Carly Fiorina topped Fortune Magazine's annual survey of the 50 most powerful women in U.S. business, despite the technology company's pains, the business magazine said on Monday. Fiorina, who is fighting to convince investors HP should buy Compaq Computer Corp.<CPQ.N> and is one of only six women who are chief executives of Fortune 500 companies, has led the field since Fortune began making its chart in 1998. She wasfollowed this year by online auctioneer Meg Whitman, president and chief executive of eBay Inc.<EBAY.O>, who was third last year. Oprah Winfrey jumped to No. 3 from No. 15 on the strength of her influence on society as well as her business empire. Last year's No. 2, former Lucent Technologies Inc.<LU.N> Chief Financial Officer Deborah Hopkins, fell off the list and Donna Dubinsky, head of handheld computer company Handspring Inc.<HAND.O>, dropped to No. 32 from last year's No. 4. "Last year, power resided in the technology and Internet sectors, but that influence was fleeting," Fortune said in an online story that is also part of its October 15 issue. The fastest rising star was Marce Fuller, president and chief executive of energy producer and trader Mirant Corp.<MIR.N>, who was No. 5 this year but did not make last year's list.
