Who is the most powerful person in the world?

The capitalist with the most cash and the most ties to organized criminal gangs. I have no idea who that is, which is just how peope like that want it to be.

You are.

Im gonna interpret "most powerful person" as meaning "the person whom can cause the greatest change into the world".

Its impossible to know for sure, since, as Setanta said, its very likely that its a person with ties to criminal organizations and, as such, wouldnt want anyone to know they have the said ties. But im gonna do the usual bet: the president of the United States. Sure, he cant do anything he wants, he has a lot of people he needs to answer for, but thats still a lot of power.

Yes, i am agree with you because he or she not mixed in world's spoil. A newborn baby is the most powerful person in the world.

Doubtful. The most powerful person isn't going to let anyone cut off a piece of his genitals.

NOT the leaders of those criminal gangs ?

According to me this time OBAMA is most powerful person in the world.

Probably the nominal head of the Rothschildes at a given time.

Obama

Does Ayn Rand count?

I know she's dead, but her essay competition is turning generation after generation of college-educated American youth into sociopaths. Surely that's power?

The most powerful person has such a good techniques of manipulation that common people will follow him or her without knowing who he or she is.

For me "Malala Yousafzai" is most powerful person in the world. Simple reason is that to stand there where there is no one for you that is the most powerful and courageous thing on earth.

Who is the arse who thumbs down Malala Yousafzai? She is the young lady whose courage shamed the Taliban.

(I wish I had more than one thumb)

According to me Vladimir Putin president of Russia is the most powerful person in the world
