Among the newcomers on the list is Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte who placed 70th, with barely just six months since he assumed presidency in July. As described by Forbes, “Duterte’s tendency to say what he thinks, no matter how raw, keeps him in the headlines.”
Part of the top 10 list is Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel on the third place, China President Xi Jinping on fourth place, head of the Roman Catholic Church Pope Francis on fifth, US Federal Reserve System Chair Janet Yellen placing on the sixth spot, American business magnate Bill Gates on seventh place, Alphabet CEO Larry Page on eighth, India Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 9th place and on the last spot of the top 10 is Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
