AGE 50: Jeff Bezos
50歲：傑夫·貝索斯

CEO of Amazon
亞馬遜首席執行官

What makes him powerful: Amazon seems to be stretching into new frontiers every few weeks, from its drones program to its quest to dominate mobile payments. The e-commerce giant has been making a lot of moves in hardware lately, with Fire TV and an upcoming smartphone that will let you see 3-D images without wearing special glasses.

51歲：邁克爾·喬丹

Retired NBA player
NBA退役球員

What makes him powerful: Despite the fact that Michael Jordan hasn't played in an NBA game in more than 10 years, he's still one of the highest-earning athletes. The royalties he gets from MJ-branded shoes, steakhouses, and other products — not to mention he's the majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats — earns him about $90 million a year. He's got a lot of confidence in his legacy, too. In October, Jordan said he could have beaten LeBron in his prime, and called out Kobe for "stealing his moves."
權勢所在：雖然喬丹已經不在NBA打球超過10年，但他仍是收入最高的運動員之一。他從MJ品牌的球鞋，牛排餐廳和其他產品中獲得的提成就高達9000萬美元，更不用說，他還是夏洛特山貓隊的主要持有人。喬丹從自己的傳奇生涯中也獲得了充分的自信。在去年10月份的時候，喬丹說自己甚至可以打敗全盛時期的勒布朗，而且宣稱科比“是向自己偷的師”。AGE 52: Barack Obama

President of the United States

權勢所在：這位成功的企業家，達拉斯小牛隊的擁有人在科技和足球方面都有自己獨到的見解。但他發表這些見解的時候，每個人都會認真傾聽。在ABC節目《創智贏家》中，庫班是一個創智之人，他也有能力爲那些剛剛起步的創業者提供充足的資金，他還可以讓某些領域當中的成功人士爲這些創業者提供指導。AGE 59: Angela Merkel
59歲：安吉拉·默克爾

Chancellor of Germany

She was just re-elected to her third term as chancellor of Germany, and is more popular than ever.
