President Barack Obama topped the Forbes 2012 list of the world’s most powerful people in the world. The annual list selected the 71 most powerful people in the world, and that list was filled with politicos, businessmen, and even the pope took a spot. When it comes to power though, heads of state occupied six of the top 10 spots among the world’s most powerful people. The annual list selected, according to Forbes was chosen based on factors ranging from wealth to global influence. The list’s highest-ranked businessman was Microsoft founder Bill Gates at No. 4.

“This year’s list reflects the changing of the guard in the world’s two most powerful countries: the United States and China,” Michael Noer, Forbes’ executive editor, told Reuters in an email.

According to Forbes, to create the rankings, editors graded candidates on four criteria for power and they were 1) power over many people, 2) control over financial and other valuable resources, 3) power in multiple spheres or arenas, 4) active use of power. With that being said, one of the strangest names to appear in the No. 63 spot for the first time ever on the list is Joaquin Guzman Loera. Loera, is a billionaire nicknamed “El Chapo” who heads Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel is the world’s most powerful drug trafficker, according to Forbes.
