AGE 37: Kanye West

Musician and producer

What makes him powerful: It's likely that no one will ever love Kanye as much as Kanye loves Kanye, but he undoubtedly has loyal fans and a prominent place in the music industry. "Yeezus," which dropped in 2013, topped the charts and was considered by many to be the best album of the year. He's got a new album in the works, and recently released an adorable video for "Only One," featuring his daughter, North.
