The World’s Most Powerful People 2016 (1)

Every year, Forbes published a list of the most influential people in the world. To compile the list, an assessment is made on the basis of 4 dimensions. First into account is the power over many people. Next comes the financial resource that is controlled by the candidate. The next criterion is the number of areas, in which the candidate has an impact. Finally, it is evaluated whether the applicant actively used its influence.

To calculate the final rankings, a panel of Forbes editors ranked all of the candidates in each of these four dimensions of power, and those individual rankings were averaged into a composite score. Last year’s list comes at a time of significant changes, and represents Forbes' best guess about who will matter in the year to come.

Finally, Forbes kindly warns, that not everybody will be happy with the results of rankings.
