Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani came on 38th of the list after Dr Manmohan Sing
A distinguished US magazine Forbes has included Prime Minister Pakistan Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani among 67 most powerful persons across the world. The fresh issue of Forbes has published the list of such people with their brief profiles.
Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani who came on 38th of the list after Dr Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India, at 36th and Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden at 37th. According to Forbes list, the following are 67 world most powerful persons; Barack Obama, Hu Jintao, Vladimir Putin, Ben S Bernanke, Sergey Brin and Larry, Page, Carlos Slim Helu, Rupert Murdoch, Michael T. Duke, Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al Saud, William Gates III, Pope Benedict XVI , Silvio Berlusconi, Jeffrey R Immelt, Warren Buffett, Angela Merkel, Laurence D. Fink , Hillary Clinton, Lloyd C Blankfein, Li Changchun, Michael Bloomberg, Timothy Geithner Rex, W Tillerson, Li Ka-shing Kim Jong Il, Jean-Claude, Trichet Masaaki Shirakawa, Sheikh Ahmed bin Zayed al Nahyan, Akio Toyoda, Gordon Brown, James S Dimon, Bill Clinton, William H. Gross, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Lou Jiwei, Yukio Hatoyama, Manmohan Singh, Osama bin Laden, Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, Tenzin Gyatso, Ali Hoseini-Khamenei, Joaquin Guzman, Igor Sechin, Dmitry Medvedev, Mukesh Ambani, Oprah Winfrey, Benjamin Netanyahu, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Zhou Xiaochuan, John Roberts Jr., Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, William Keller, Bernard Arnault, Joseph S Blatter, Wadah Khanfar, Lakshmi Mittal, Nicolas Sarkozy, Steve Jobs, Fujio Mitarai, Ratan Tata, Jacques Rogge, Li Rongrong, Blairo Maggi, Robert B Zoellick, Antonio Guterres, Mark John Thompson, Klaus Schwab and Hugo Chavez To calculate the final rankings, five Forbes senior editors ranked all of our candidates in each of these four dimensions of power. Those individual rankings were averaged into a composite score, which determined who placed above (or below) whom. US President Barack Obama emerged, unanimously, as the world's most powerful person, and by a wide margin. But there were a number of surprises. Former President George W. Bush didn't come close to making the final cut, while his predecessor in the Oval Office, Bill Clinton, ranks 31st, ahead of a number of sitting heads of government. There are only 67 slots on their list one for every 100 million people on the planet so being powerful in just one area is not enough to guarantee a spot. Take Italy's colorful prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi (No. 12) who is a politician, a media monopolist and owner of soccer powerhouse A.C. Milan, or Oprah Winfrey (No. 45) who can manufacture a best-seller and an American President. Ingvar Kamprad, the 83-year-old entrepreneur behind Ikea and the richest man in Europe, was an early candidate for this list, but was excluded because he doesn't exercise his power. On the other hand, Russian autocrat Vladimir Putin (No. 3) scored points because he likes to throw his weight around by jailing oligarchs, invading neighboring countries and periodically cutting off Western Europe's supply of natural gas. |
