    Wang Zifei, an MBA student from Shanghai, happened to sit behind Obama during a town hall meeting, and being photographed removing her red coat was enough to catapult her into the media spotlight causing a huge stir in cyberspace.

    In the wake of the incident, her blog clocked more than 1.3 million hits as she broke her silence to reveal the innocence behind the move. While others suggested she removed her coat on purpose creating a wave of interest. The truth remains unclear, but what can¡¯t be denied is Wang certainly made a name for herself. She made it to the top of our list for 2009.
