They are young and they wield so much influence wherever they go – these 12 are Forbes Magazine’s Youngest Powerful People of 2014.
Today Forbes released its annual list of the world’s 72 most powerful people. From emerging tech titans to the supreme leader of a wayward nation and the self-proclaimed caliph of a rogue terror group, some of those who have achieved positions of power have managed to do so at a notably young age. In total, ten of the 72 are younger than 50.
The list of powerful young people include Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg (22); North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-Un (No. 49); Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed caliph of the Islamic State (also known as ISIS or ISIL) and more.
Other young list members include Tesla and SpaceX head Elon Musk (No. 52), 43; Samsung Vice Chair Jay Y. Lee (No. 35), 46; Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella (No. 64), 47; and Wal-Mart chief Doug McMillon (No. 29), 48.

Forbes is one of my most favourite magazine. It is so informative and authentic. I have switched on to the digital age by reading my favourite magazines digitally. I read Forbes digitally on my smartphone using the free MAGZTER app. It has more than 4500 magazines containing international titles of various genres. Reading digitally is so blissful as it has lots of interactivites like audios and videos embedded in it.
