There were 10 candidates on the shortlist the publication released. The males on the list included 2021 Person of the Year winner Elon Musk, Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The females on the list included Representative Liz Cheney, part owner of Amazon Mackenzie Scott and Janet Yellen, the first Secretary of the Treasury in U.S. history.
