There are familiar names doing new things (Serena Williams), new names doing historic things (Ketanji Brown Jackson) and inanimate objects doing mind-blowing things (the James Webb Space Telescope). One name, with the initials SBF, also did some mind-blowing things, which helped land his successor (John Ray III) on the list.
No one story dominates the Bloomberg 50 this year as does the war in Ukraine: Volodymyr Zelenskiy is on the list, and so, among others, are Daleep Singh, architect of the sanctions regime against Vladimir Putin, and Todd Boehly, who bought the Chelsea Football Club after Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich was pressured to sell it.
If you don’t know why Bad Bunny, Scarlett Lewis or Tom Oxley are big deals, well, keep reading. Browse past alums whose 2022 contributions also merited a nod, and check Ones to Watch for a glimpse of who might appear on next year’s Bloomberg 50.
