The prestigious U.S. magazine Time published its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2025, recognizing figures who are making their mark in areas such as politics, music, sports, science and activism.
The selection, divided into six categories – leaders, icons, artists, titans, pioneers and innovators – includes well-known and emerging names that represent the spirit of the times.
First female president of Mexico
One of the most notable presences for the Hispanic world is Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico’s current president and the first woman to hold that office.
Recognized for her career as an environmental scientist, Sheinbaum was highlighted by Time magazine in the leaders category, alongside figures such as U.S. President Donald Trump, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado.
Time highlights Sheinbaum’s work on sustainability policies, clean urban mobility and energy transition.
In addition to its commitment to social equity in Mexico.
Their inclusion underscores the growing role of Latin American leaders in global environmental and governance debates.
Art with global awareness
In the category of artists in Time magazine, British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran was recognized for his continued commercial success, but also for his social sensitivity.
His current tour has been one of the highest-grossing of the year and his musical collaborations span genres and cultures.

In addition, he has supported campaigns related to mental health and children’s education.
Sheeran appears accompanied by artists such as Scarlett Johansson, Daniel Dae Kim, and South Korean singer Rosé.

In addition to Sheinbaum, Time magazine’s list includes European Commission Vice President Teresa Ribera.
Also, journalist David Muir, transgender activist Raquel Willis and tennis player Serena Williams.
In the business sphere, names such as Mark Zuckerberg, designer Miuccia Prada, and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk stand out.
For U.S. Hispanics, the inclusion of Latino and allied leaders and creators on this list is a validation of the real impact of their voices on the global stage.
The Time100 does not measure fame, but tangible influence on society: from political decisions that affect millions to songs that connect emotionally with the public.
