Revista prestigjioze “Time” ka bërë publike listën e përvitshme të 100 njerëzve më me influencë në botë. Ashtu si në vitet e kaluara, edhe lista e re përfshin kryetarë dhe kryeministra, drejtues ekzekutivë, njerëz të famshëm dhe jo aq të njohur, por që me forcën dhe fuqinë e shpikjeve të tyre kanë zgjidhur probleme të rëndësishme. Në listë përfshihen sërish emrat e Presidentit të Amerikës, Donald Trump, vajzës së tij, Ivanka dhe bashkëshortit të saj, Jared Kushner. Liderë të tjerë politikë që përfshihen janë Putin, Rexhep Taip Erdogan, Theresa May, Narendra Mori dhe Papa Francis. Nga artistët, u zgjodhën emra si Ed Sheeran, Demi Lovato, Emma Stone, James Corden e James Legend. Ndërsa në botën e titanëve të teknologjisë dhe biznesit spikatën Evan Spiegel i Snapchat dhe Jeff Bezos nga Amazon. Nga bota e sportit ka çuditur përfshirja e brazilianit Neymar.
