Honestly, I dont know many people on this list but seeing Sasha and Malia Obama high up on that list. Really? What spectacular thing have they done? So, being the President’s daughters automatically gained them that rank, well…
Some people are not happy at all that the Jenner sisters, younger sisters of the Kardashians also made the list. Well, the truth is, you might not be a fan but these girls are popular. They get featured on so many online magazines daily and many American teenage girl want to be like them. Although, we cant say that their family isnt a huge influencing factor.
What really puts me off with this list is where Malala Yousafzai was ranked. 18th! come on! This is the youngest Nobel Laureate we are talking about here. Someone who won the same award the U.S President and respectable people like Nelson Mandela and Koffi Anan have won. She has met with the Queen, addressed the UN General council, consisting of World leaders, more than once. She’s immensely popular and influential. Just her visit to Nigeria made the President call for the meeting with parents of the Chibok girls. Now, that’s influence! I think she should be in the first five!
