Russia is #1 now.

Forbes started this subjective silliness in 2009.

Obama has been the top dog 3x

Putin has been top dog 3x

Merkel has been in the top three, twice.

Perhaps most remarkable is this China has been top three, 5x, but not this year.


Your remark about being behind a woman says more about you than anything else.
Maybe Forbes editorial staff gave Merkel points for opening the floodgates to refugees.

There's a lot of people who think Obama and all prior presidents used some-all EOs, inappropriately.
