谷歌聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人，特殊項(xiàng)目負(fù)責(zé)人

What makes him powerful: Larry Page's "other half" is responsible for trying to decide which ideas Google will pursue.

權(quán)勢(shì)所在：他是拉里·佩奇的左膀右臂，主要負(fù)責(zé)做出谷歌的一些重大決策，監(jiān)管谷歌對(duì)于未知領(lǐng)域的探索，以及秘密的長(zhǎng)期項(xiàng)目，以此來(lái)解決一些重大問(wèn)題，例如，谷歌眼鏡，自動(dòng)駕駛汽車(chē)，針對(duì)糖尿病患者的智能聯(lián)系方式，可以產(chǎn)生能源的飛行風(fēng)力渦輪機(jī)。

權(quán)勢(shì)所在：佩奇成為谷歌首席執(zhí)行官之后，就打算讓公司煥然一新。今天，谷歌仍然占居搜索引擎首位，從廣告中獲取大量利潤(rùn)。同時(shí)，該公司也正在引領(lǐng)創(chuàng)新產(chǎn)業(yè)，例如，谷歌眼鏡。去年，谷歌就盈利將近180億美元。

Tesla's on a fast and furious quest to disrupt the auto industry, with plans underway to build a massive Gigafactory. SpaceX launched the first commercial satellite into orbit and is under agreement with NASA to resupply the International Space Station.
權(quán)勢(shì)所在：埃隆·馬斯克是當(dāng)今飽受爭(zhēng)議的最偉大的發(fā)明家。他經(jīng)營(yíng)的3家革命性企業(yè)取得了巨大的成功，與此同時(shí)，他個(gè)人資產(chǎn)也在去年翻了三倍。特斯拉發(fā)展迅猛，不斷挑戰(zhàn)汽車(chē)領(lǐng)域，目前正在實(shí)施“千兆工廠”計(jì)劃。太空搜索科技公司發(fā)射了一枚商業(yè)衛(wèi)星，并成功進(jìn)入了軌道。與NASA達(dá)成協(xié)議重新供給國(guó)際空間站。

U.S. Senator
美國(guó)參議員

What makes him powerful: In a short time Ted Cruz went from being the GOP's ultimate conservative purist to one of the most despised men in the U.S. Senate, provoking the federal government shutdown last year. He staged a 21-hour faux filibuster to defund Obamacare. He failed then, but recently had his bill to bar Iran's U.N. envoy from entering the U.S. pass in the Senate, a tidy win for the Texas freshman minority senator.
權(quán)勢(shì)所在：很短的時(shí)間里，泰德·克魯茲就從共和黨終極保守黨員變成了國(guó)會(huì)里最受人鄙視的人，煽動(dòng)了去年美國(guó)政府的關(guān)門(mén)。他上演了21小時(shí)阻礙奧巴馬醫(yī)保議案出資的鬧劇。雖然失敗，但是最近他在參議院提交了阻止伊朗駐聯(lián)合國(guó)大使進(jìn)入美國(guó)的議案，對(duì)于這個(gè)年輕的堪薩斯州來(lái)的少數(shù)黨參議員來(lái)講，這次議案是個(gè)完勝。

According to Bloomberg, Li said in October that his company would invest even more aggressively in mobile search; installments of its search app rose to 330 million users.

Best-selling author of the Harry Potter series
暢銷(xiāo)書(shū)哈利波特系列作者

What makes her powerful: Rowling, who ignited a new generation of readers with her magical series, became the first billionaire author. She's still cashing in on the boy wizard 17 years later. In an unprecedented move, she retained the digital rights to her novels, rather than signing them over to her publisher, and launched an online store so she can sell the e-books directly to consumers. The Pottermore site allows Rowling to reap 100% of everything she sells.

49歲：馬云

Executive chairman of Alibaba Group
阿里巴巴集團(tuán)執(zhí)行總裁

What makes him powerful: No. 146 on Forbes' billionaires list, Jack Ma created the largest e-commerce business in China. Ma made headlines a couple of years ago with talks of buying Yahoo, but he's going to have his own plate pretty full very soon. His company's impending IPO could exceed $150 billion, making it the world's largest this year, if it happens.
權(quán)勢(shì)所在：馬云，福布斯億萬(wàn)富豪排行榜上排名146，創(chuàng)建了中國(guó)最大的電子商務(wù)。幾年前，因并購(gòu)雅虎談判成為新聞?lì)^條，但不久，他自己的盤(pán)子已足夠飽和。如果他的公司上市，市值將超過(guò)1.5億美元，會(huì)成為今年最大市值公司。
