Other women on Time Magazine's 100 most influential list

Hilary Clinton

American politician, Hilary Clinton, stunning South African and American actress, Charlize Theron, English singer and writer, Adele and popular singer and rapper, Nicki Minaj were among Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in the world.

Adele

Other women on the list include Facebook CEO's wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, American mixed martial artist, Rhonda Roussey, and the most popular transgender of our time, Caitlyn Marie Jenner.

To showcase the list, the magazine featured  six of the  members of the 13th annual Time 100 list on its cover.They include Oscar-winning actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, Nicki Minaj, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, actress Priyanka Chopra, International Monetary Fund managing director Christine Lagarde and Lin-Manuel Miranda, creator and star of the Broadway smash, "Hamilton."100.

My take...

Yes, I know Nicki Minaj is popular and talented but can we say she is a role model to girls. I doubt the credibility of Lil Wayne's review of how much of a mentor and role model she is.

The fine gentlemen....

Idris Elba

I'm thinking they chose the men by their looks, but that will be wrong, because Donald Trump is there. However, kudos to my man crush, the United States President Barrack Obama, English actor, Idris Elba, gorgeous Oscar Isaac and Usain Bolt, they were also on the list.

The other leaders who made the cut include Ted Cruz, Tim Cook, Google CEO, Larry Page. From U.S. presidential candidates to Hollywood stars, you will find your favourite names on the"most influential" list in the world.
