普京击败特朗普登上《福布斯》杂志全球最具权力人物年度排行榜的榜首，连续第三年获得第一。
 

 

The Forbes list, now in its eighth year, identifies 74 people - one for every 100 million on the planet - whose actions have the most impact across the world. Factors taken into consideration include the amount of people a person has power over, the financial resources they control, whether they have influence in more than one sphere, and how actively³ they wield⁴ their power to change the world.

 

This year, 28 members of the list serve as chief executives of major companies. The top ten of those CEOs - all of whom are American - run firms with a combined market capitalisation of $3tn, Forbes reports.

 

Trump's rise to second from number 72 last year is the biggest ever on the list. Other notable entries associated with him include the vice-president-elect, Mike Pence, at number 69, Rex Tillerson, the outgoing ExxonMobil chief who was selected this week as Trump's nominee⁵ for secretary of state, at number 24, and the Blackstone Group CEO, Stephen Schwarzman, who has been appointed to Trump's panel of economic advisers⁶, at number 52. Several Trump donors⁷ are on the list as well, including Sheldon Adelson, the CEO of Las Vegas Sands, at number 72, and the Silicon⁸ Valley billionaire Peter Thiel at 73.

 

Angela Merkel, the German chancellor⁹, remains¹⁰ the most powerful woman, at number 3. The British prime minister, Theresa May, is a new addition to the list at number 13, replacing her predecessor¹¹ David Cameron, who was ranked at number 8 last year. Barack Obama drops to 48.

 

Travis Kalanick, the CEO of Uber, who drove the company to become the richest startup in history, is new at number 64, and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest person on the list, at number 10.
