I am going to opt for POTUS - Though I suspect the head of the IMF might be a contender

Bill Gates isn't the richest. List is old.
*edit*
and bad apparently. Zuckerberg is on there? What kind of crap is that. How is he more powerful than the prime minister of the UK, for example?

Putin, probably. Can do pretty much whatever and get away with it. Doesn't even need to be in office. Corruption/intimidation is his can of spinach.
China's not as big a deal as made out to be. Too dependent on others. No projection capability. This will change.
Agree that the IMF is seriously potent.
The POTUS has enormous power, obviously...but its not politically practical to actually exert it at this time.

The most powerful people's names will never appear on any list.

No for Rupert Murdoch? The biggest media mogul.
