In today’s world, don’t we all crave for admiration and how to achieve it?
A research company by the name of “YouGov” has published a list of the most admired individuals of 2018 and has ranked several personalities based on opinions of 37,000 people from 35 countries. “YouGov” divides the polling into separate male and female categories.
The research was conducted by interviewing 37,000 people online. It was finalized on the base of their responses to two questions:
- Do you admire the person in question?
- Do you admire the particular person the most?
International Ranking:
The man who topped the list is a person who started a tech company known for its ruthless ways which makes load amount of money and then spend the rest of your life doing great philanthropic work, yes you’re right, he’s Bill Gates, Microsoft co-founder, has been named in an annual poll as the world’s most admired man.Gates has topped the list in all three years since YouGov divided the polling into separate male and female categories.
In the women’s section, Angelina Jolie topped the list who seems to have switched jobs from being an actor to a more serious role as a humanitarian. She has topped the list in all three years like Bill Gates.
