The Most Powerful People in the World at Every Age

Power knows no age limit… or minimum apparently.

Power knows no age limit or minimum apparently. From royal heirs to tech innovators, activists, politicians, Hollywood actors and professional athletes, the world’s most powerful, most influential, stretches across ages, races, industries and timezones, whether it have been gained by personal achievements or birthright privilege. Business Insider has released a list detailing the most powerful person in the world at every age between 1 and 100. The extensive list’s rankings were determined by four core pillars: “Command,” or the degree to which a person formally controls a group of people, “Past influence,” or how much a person has changed the world, “Future influence,” or how likely a person is going to change the world from here onwards, and ”Net worth.” Do you agree with the list?
*HYPEBEAST’s very honorable mention goes to Ms. Jeralean Talley, who passed away just a few short weeks ago, ending her run as the oldest person alive at the age of 116.
