Same ten humans in the top-10 on humans.top since July 23. Nobody in, nobody out for seven weeks; the order moved three times, last when Lula and Erdogan swapped #8 and #9. Five presidents, two PMs, a Fed chair, a crown prince, one general secretary. humans.top
For 15 years @tim_cook ran #Apple and ranked #25 among the most influential humans alive. On September 1 he handed the keys to @johnternus — and dropped to #192 overnight. The chair carries the weight, not the man in it. Ternus debuts at #34. humans.top/u/242

The point isn't a static list. It's a living attempt to put very different kinds of influence — political, financial, corporate, cultural, athletic — on ONE comparable axis, and watch it move as the world changes.
Every row is a real, named person — not pixels:
• live influence rank + tier
• a short bio in 15 languages
• Wikidata Q-ID + Wikipedia/official links
• citizenship (ISO), birth year, sex
CSV + JSONL. Public domain — use it for anything, incl. LLM training.
