Teens today might have a mixed reputation, but there’s no denying their influence. They command millions of fans on Twitter and Vine, start companies with funds they raised on Kickstarter, steal scenes on TV’s most popular shows, lead protests with global ramifications, and even—as of Friday—win Nobel Peace Prizes. But which ones rise above the rest? We analyzed social-media followings, cultural accolades, business acumen and more to determine this year’s list (ordered from youngest to oldest).

There is a scar that runs the entire length of my left arm, wide and treacherous at the elbow, then narrows to a thin white line as it cuts across my palm.
I was eight and running on the way to a baseball game with my father when I fell on some rocks in the parking lot. He slung me over his shoulder and carried me to the first aid station.

Confession: I couldn’t get through Emily in Paris. Yes, I knew the comedy from Sex and the City creator Darren Star was meant to be nothing more than a sugary confection—a Ladurée macaron to Carrie Bradshaw’s Magnolia cupcake. And I’d never begrudge its fans their treat. Escapism is a very personal thing. Some of us relax by watching superheroes fight evil; others prefer raunchy humor or cooking competitions or high-end lifestyle porn.

“Sorry guys,” Vinci said to the crowd.
Causal fans won’t recognize Vinci, a 32-year-old from Taranto Italy, who was ranked No. 43 in the world in September.

“Hitler massacred 3 million Jews. Now there are 3 million drug addicts. I’d be happy to slaughter them,” Rodrigo Duterte, the Philippines’ President, has said. His approach is as ill considered as his grasp of history (more than half of Hitler’s 11 million victims were Jewish). Since Duterte’s inauguration last year, some 7,000 people have been killed. His ironfisted strategy alarms governments, human-rights organizations and faith-based groups while winning high approval ratings at home.

Driven by a football Faust who deserves his bravos They are the kind of stats that a college powerhouse like Alabama’s Crimson Tide might covet, but they belong to Moeller High, a smallish (1,008 students) Roman Catholic boys’ school in suburban Cincinnati. In the 17 years since Coach Jerry Faust organized a varsity football squad, his Fighting Crusaders have won 159 games, been tied twice and suffered just 17 losses. They have rolled up eight undefeated seasons, including the one they completed a week ago with a 37-6 win over a larger school, Mount Healthy.

When the original Star Trek debuted a half-century ago on Sept. 8, 1966, it was to middling reviews. But, even though that earliest iteration would only last three seasons, there were some who saw that the show was more than just the average sci-fi adventure. And those prescient fans included one very important person in particular.
It’s a story that has since become legend within Star Trek circles: after the first season, Nichelle Nichols, who played Uhura in the original series, decided to leave the show for a role on Broadway.

Steph Curry wasn’t shy about letting a fan in South Korea know how the back-to-back MVP really felt about the fan wearing a pair of Nike LeBron sneakers.
The Golden State Warriors player is currently on an Asian tour with his shoe sponsor Under Armour, where he gives basketball clinics to fans. At one such clinic on Thursday, a fan dressed in one of Curry’s trademark Warriors jersey and shorts, hit a half-court three-pointer and to celebrate, emulated Curry’s victory rituals, including the babyfaced assassin’s high kick that became a meme during the 2017 NBA Finals.
