Out of 7.5 billion people, there are 75 of those who make the world turn. Forbes has listed those most powerful people into a list and Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, General Qamar Javed Bajwa, is among them.
General Bajwa was ranked 68th and was the only Pakistani named in Forbes’ list. His Indian counterpart, Bipin Rawat, was found nowhere among the world’s elite few.
According to Forbes, China’s Xi Jinping is currently the world’s most powerful man after China’s Communist Party amended its constitution to award him termless power that only Chairman Mao enjoyed decades ago. President Xi has superseded Russian president Vladimir Putin who has been on this position for four consecutive years; he is now on the second spot.
Forbes ranked President Donald Trump third on the list as his foolish statements and policies of confrontation have made him less influential in the world.
Fourth on the list is German Chancellor Angela Merkel who also happens to be the world’s most powerful woman and the de facto leader of Europe.
Surprisingly, the fifth name on the list is not of a political leader. He’s neither a president of a country nor has he ever been a politician in any part of his life, but he is the world’s richest man – Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon is the fifth most powerful person in the world!
Pope Francis is sixth, Bill Gates (7th), Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman (8th), Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi (9th) and Larry Page – the co-founder of Google and CEO of Alphabet is the 10th most influential personality on the planet earth, according to Forbes.
The Newcomers on the List
Including General Qamar Bajwa, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman (#8), chairman of the US Federal Reserves, Jerome H. Powell (#11), French President Emmanuel Macron (# 12), Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg (#13), CEO Exxon Mobil Darren Woods (#34), President of South Korea Moon Jae-in (#54), Reed Hastings, Cofounder of Netflix (# 71) are the latest entries to the list.
Bajwa ha to powerful to hoga na
lagta hai ap bajwa ho..???
Our general is on the list not our PM? Good observation.
Indian Army Chief nahi hai to kya hua Indian PM to haina. Army Chief PM kay under hota hai. Hamaray mulk me Army Chief PM se ziyada powerful hota hai because of corrupt politicians. Hope State will auto correct itself as the time passes.
Dear Raza Rizvi, your army general being more powerful than your PM is not something you must celebrate! There is a reason the most powerful people are heads of states but not armies.
