If you are sure that you live modestly, do not own business, do not engage in politics, therefore the cases of the strengths of this will not concern you - you are mistaken. There are always those from whom directly or indirectly depends on what is happening in the world.

We will talk about them - the most influential persons of our time. Regular lists with them make up Times and Forbes - perhaps the most authoritative editions of the United States. We will only look at the "top" and let's talk about the top 10 of the current list.

One of the few political leaders of India, which enjoys the enormous support of the people. A brighter confirmation is re-elected it for the fourth time in a row. Nevertheless, in the country, and many people consider him a contradictory personality. On the one hand, it is a charismatic "Millionaire of Slumbits", winner of the UN and UNESCO premiums laureate, and on the other, one of the indirect perpetrators of the result of interreligious clashes in Gujarat among Indian Muslims (then more than a thousand people died). The youngest influential person on this list was born in 1984 and has since managed to become the owner of one of the most expensive companies and the largest social network. The story of the latter began with a modest website for Harvard students, and rose to the level of one of the five most visited online playgrounds in the world. Mark Zuckerberg - record holder in many indicators. For example, he managed to become the most young billionaire in history and one of the richest Americans. Like Bill Gates, the lion's share of the state donates charity - this is how it is going to dispose of a 99% stake in Facebook.


The largest search engine of the world would never have appeared if it were not for the joint efforts of Larry Page and Sergey Brina. At the same time, Page is 12th in the list of the richest people of the Planet and the owner of the prestigious Marconi Prize. Colleague, Omid Cordestani, calls Larry "idealist aimed to change the world through the prism of technology."


It is not surprising that he fell into a list of the most influential people of our time - in a famous statement it is said that "who owns information, he owns the world." But it is Larry Page directly affects what information we receive daily using a global network.

Bill Gates, MICROSOFT and Philanthrop

This is one of those people thanks to which computers have become compact, humane (from the point of view of development) and affordable. For several years in a row, he headed the rating of the richest people in the world, and today, going away from the business, focused on the development of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.


In the last Bill Gates succeeded at least than in the computer sector: personally, Bill is a record holder in terms of the amount of funds transferred to charity. For example, he sent 38% of Microsoft's shares belonging to the unknown recipient. This donation can easily claim the largest since the beginning of the XXI century.

Dad Francis, Head of the Catholic Church

His name is Jorge Mario Bergolo and he - the 266th Pope Pope. Over the past 1200 years, he became the first exit not from Europe (born in Buenos Aires), who took this honorary chair. Despite the fact that in many Western countries the state is separated from religion, the Catholic faith continues to play an important role in the life of ordinary residents, and politicians and businessmen listened to the head of the Church. Pope Francis himself is a modest person with solid principles. In 2013 - in the year of election - Time magazine called him a "man of the year."


Janet Yellen, head of the US Federal Reserve

She heads the US Federal Reserve since 2014 and is the first woman in this post. To understand the importance of this state unit, it is necessary to know that it performs the function of the Central Bank of the country. Janelnet Yelevlen is not the only one in the family, awarded high title: Her husband is a laureate of the Nobel Prize in the economy, and she herself has a scientific degree of Ph.D..


Si Jinpin, Chairman of the PRC

It is difficult to underestimate China's influence on the global economy, so it is not surprising that the leader of this country has fallen into the list of the most influential persons. Xi Jinping highlights among other political figures principled position on corruption, as well as openness to reforms. He first fell into a hundred most influential people in the world (according to Forbes rating) back in 2009.


Woman with a strong grip and the same excerpt. Angela Merkel became the first woman in Germany, who managed to take such a significant post, for which he managed to get the inspiring title of "New Iron Lady". Today, it actually controls the work of the European Union and is actively involved in the settlement of external conflicts outside the country.


Merkel has repeatedly became the leader of the ratings of the most influential politicians, has numerous awards and named "woman of the year" according to the authoritative British edition of Financial Times.

Donald Trump, US President

Donald Trump managed to take a presidential chair relatively recently, but even before that event he was well known in the world thanks to political and commercial activities. A person versatile, he is engaged not only by business (he is the President of the Construction Conglomerate, the owner of the network of gambling institutions and hotel complexes), but also worked as a TV presenter, regularly appeared in


Indeed, he not only again occupies the presidential chair in a country that has steadily holding the first place in the world in the territory and ninth population, but also participates in foreign policy, and its actions are not always perceived unequivocally. By the way, Vladimir Putin is the only representative from Russia in our ranking.
