1 Xi Jinping
The leader of the world's most populated country
and second largest economy (GDP), Xi Jinping
holds a firm grasp on China's only political
party. In March, China's parliament amended its
constitution, broadening Xi's power and scrapping
term limits. After ascending to the presidency in
2012, Xi was quick to see the benefits of
privatization-friendly reform.

a winery and has licensed his name to companies
around the world.
