權(quán)勢所在：李嘉誠可能是亞洲最富有的人，但是他的權(quán)勢要遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過他的財富。眾所周知，他擁有敏銳的洞察力，成功進行新興領(lǐng)域的投資，促進年輕人新理念的開發(fā)（他是Facebook早期投資者，對該公司的投資也只是“高風(fēng)險愛好”）。

86歲:普密蓬·阿杜德

King of Thailand

Oscar-winning actor
奧斯卡獲獎演員

What makes him powerful: Poitier has been a lot of firsts in the biz. He was the first black actor to win a Best Actor Oscar (50 years ago) and the first black man to kiss a white woman in a movie. The man remains an icon to many new and aspiring film stars. Despite humble beginnings, Poitier, who couldn't read until he was well into his teens, has written a number of autobiographies and, last year, a sci-fi-esque novel.

英國以及其他15個英聯(lián)邦國家的國家首腦

What makes her powerful: It's been more than 60 years since news reached Princess Elizabeth, who was on an official trip in Africa, that her father King George the VI had died.

權(quán)勢所在：60年前，還是公主的伊麗莎白正在非洲進行國事訪問，消息傳來，她的父親國王喬治五世去世。自從她25歲登基以來，就一直在運用“軟權(quán)利”。女王用謹(jǐn)慎的點頭以及與首相對話時巧妙地政治詞匯來簡直的影響政治的變化。

Landing at No. 8 on Forbes' Most Powerful People list, he's the oldest in the top 10, and therefore the most powerful in his age bracket.
權(quán)勢所在：阿卜杜拉國王統(tǒng)治者伊斯蘭兩大圣地，以及世界上最大的原油出口國。沙特原油超過2500億加侖，大約占全球原油儲備量的18%。阿卜杜拉在“福布斯最有權(quán)勢人排行榜”上排名第8，也是前10名里年紀(jì)最大的，因此他也是自己年齡段最有權(quán)勢的人。
