Ronda Rousey included in Fortune magazine's '40 Under 40' list for 2015

Ronda Rousey adds another feather to her cap after being included in Fortune magazine's "40 Under 40" list for 2015 for her efforts thus far.

For those who are unaware, the designation refers to forty people under the age of 40 who standout for measurements of wealth, power, achievement, ambition, and influence.

Rousey has been riding high on her success, both on and off the Octagon, but a reason believed to be behind her inclusion among the world's barons of business is her recent speech about body image which has inspired a lot of people, including celebrity Beyoncé.

Aside from ruling the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's bantamweight division where Rousey has been perfect thus far, she has been busy keeping herself visible in the film industry.

Rousey has appeared in blockbuster films like the "Expendables 3," "Furious 7," and Entourage. She is also set to be seen in more upcoming movies, including a remake of "Road House," which originally starred the late Patrick Swayze.

In the UFC, she has brought in record-breaking performances, the last of which was against Bethe Correia whom she defeated handily at UFC 190. She is set to enter the Octagon once again this November against Holly Holm in Australia for UFC 193, which is expected to be an event that will draw in a record-breaking attendance.

Other highlights of Rousey include that historic appearance at Wrestlemania 31 where she joined fellow Hollywood actor and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) talent Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, giving wrestling fans quite a treat earlier this year.

Seeing her list of achievements, it isn't really surprising to see why she made the list as she continues to work hard and inspire through her efforts.

Other notable names on this year's "40 Under 40" include Taylor Swift, John Oliver, and Jessica Alba. Rousey is the only pro athlete to be named in the list.
