Forbes has created a ranking with the most influential people on the planet. In doing so, Forbes has taken into account three main criteria. Firstly, do their decisions affect many people? Secondly, do they manage large amounts of financial resources? Thirdly, does their power extend to different areas, countries, and sectors? Using these simple standards, Forbes has created the list below. It's striking to note that the wealthiest people aren't always the most powerful ones, nor do the world's heads of state enjoy absolute power. See for yourself.
