Determining the "most influential person in the world" is subjective and depends on the criteria used—whether political power, economic impact, cultural influence, or global reach. However, here are some of the most widely recognized figures in recent years

Determining the most influential person in the world can be subjective and varies depending on the criteria used. However, several sources consistently rank Prophet Muhammad as one of the most influential figures in history due to his profound impact on religion, culture, and societal structures across the world[2][3][4]. Other contenders include Isaac Newton for his revolutionary scientific contributions and Jesus Christ for his role in shaping Western ethics and values[2][3]. Ultimately, the influence can be assessed differently based on cultural, scientific, or religious perspectives.

This is subjective and can vary based on context and personal perspective. In many cases, it's often a leading global figure such as the President of the United States, or leaders of influential entities such as Jeff Bezos of Amazon or Elon Musk of Tesla and SpaceX. Other influential figures could include religious leaders like the Pope or leaders in technology and philanthropy like Bill Gates. Depending on the field, the most influential person might differ. For example, in technology it might be Elon Musk, while in climate science it could be Greta Thunberg, and in health it could be Dr. Anthony Fauci.
