Mark Zuckerberg, Bob Iger among 'Time 100' business leaders

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Disney CEO Bob Iger are just a few of the business leaders that were named to Time’s “100 Most Influential People in the World” list.

The annual list taps leaders and notable figures from across the public spectrum, including business, politics, sports and the arts. Time asks celebrities to write blurbs explaining why each person was chosen for the list. For example, Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett penned an entry for LeBron James.

“In many ways, these connections—forged across and among industries—are the heart of the Time 100, which now, in its 16th year, is far more than a list. It is a community of hundreds of global leaders, many of whom support and challenge one another. And at a time when so many of our problems require cross-disciplinary solutions, they are also uniquely positioned to effect change,” Time Editor-in-Chief Edward Felsenthal wrote.

The notable business leaders who appear on this year’s list can be found below.
