TIME100: Most influential people of 2023
Actor Michael B. Jordan, singer Doja Cat, CEO of The Walt Disney Company Bob Iger, writer Salman Rushdie, and actress Jennifer Coolidge are among the 100 Most Influential People of 2023 according to TIME Magazine. The rankings are not in any specific order, but they have cleverly divided the selected individuals into six groups:
Artists, Icons, Pioneers, Leaders, Titans, and Innovators.
Jessica Sibley, the CEO of TIME, stated: “We are pleased to acknowledge the individuals on this year’s list of the most important people in the world. We are excited to bring together the TIME100 community, which is among the world’s largest leadership communities, to highlight and hear from people who are using their platform to promote positive change.
A record 16 climate leaders—including Anthony Albanese, Gustavo Petro, Catherine Coleman Flowers, Elizabeth Maruma Mrema, Robin Zeng, and others—are included in the 2023 TIME100.
Patrick Mahomes II, Lionel Messi, Brittney Griner, Iga Swiatek, Kylian Mbappé, and Mikaela Shiffrin are among the athletes on this year’s list. Jennifer Coolidge, Beyoncé, Laurene Powell Jobs, Karen Lynch, Kate Orff, Colleen Hoover, Brittney Griner, Oleksandra Matviichuk, Cindy McCain, Sarah Kate Ellis, Angela Bassett, Bella Hadid, and other women are among the fifty women on this year’s list.
More than anyone else on the list this year, Joe Biden has appeared six times. Elon Musk (5), Janet Yellen (4), Lionel Messi (3), Beyoncé (3), Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (3), and Mitch McConnel are among the other repeaters. Polish tennis player Iga Swiatek, 21 years old, is the youngest person on this year’s list. The oldest person on this year’s list is American writer Judy Blume, who is 85 years old.
