This question resolves to the TIME 2025 Person of The Year. It uses consolidated answers to avoid having to predict who the major party nominees will be, or the exact wording of any abstract/group answers.

If you would like to add a new candidate or consolidated answer to the market, submit them in a comment below. If a comment gets enough support, I'll open the market to submissions so that you can add it and you'll get the unique trader bonuses.

Note that all consolidated answers must be mutually exclusive, so no more specific or general versions of existing options. The goal is to cleanly divide the probabilistic landscape into non-overlapping categories.

If multiple options do end up being true, then those options will resolve to an even split of 100%.

i sorta get the logic behind pushing jensen but i still feel like he personally hasn't been particularly newsworthy; 1999 bezos is the closest analogue as the leader of the company driving a stock market boom but amazon was a lot more customer-facing, compared to nvidia being the facilitator for ai/data center mania but not the operator

plus the AI boom isn't translating to "normal people" being confident in the economy (especially given the trump tariffs) the way the dotcom boom did

really it feels like this should be trump's award but they don't want to give it to him again, maybe they do something like "the federal employees" or ICE? hard to say

bought Ṁ75 YES

@Joshua should it be Jensen Huang, would it be a split pot to percentage between him and AI? Can we get a clarification? or will you decide then, after consultation?

@JussiVilleHeiskanen ny reading of the rules implies a 100% resolution to Jensen Huang in that case

opened a Ṁ5,000 NO at 25% order

@jim Yes, I think the AI option requires that AI (or some related term or non-human entity) is somehow called out specifically as "Person of the Year", not if it's just a person known for work in the AI field.

@TimothyJohnson5c16 Inside parenthesis it says (including ChatGPT or any other variation), is why I ask. I too read other variation as meaning any other model

What's going on with Jensen Huang?

@Lilemont He's the president and CEO of the world's biggest and arguably most important (in that the stock markets turn on its success) company, and an obvious proxy to give the nod to AI.

@NBAP He was at 2 % a month ago.

@Lilemont He was only added two months ago.

He shot up when Nvidia reached 5 trillion, then he went up again when Trump started posting about him

bought Ṁ50 YES

@Lilemont Now I'm as confused as you are

bought Ṁ100 YES

I would think there's insider info, but Time usually doesn't even have it picked this early. And they're good at keeping it secret, to the point where the employees don't even know.

bought Ṁ5 YES

might i suggest "the scammer" or something to that effect

@Marnix what is this related to?

@shankypanky Nothing in particular, just vibes. It's a really good year to be a flim-flam artist.

@Marnix got it! a fair few scammers on the list by name so far lol

bought Ṁ10 YES

YES, THE GREAT PEOPLE AT TIME KNOW I AM THE MOST POPULAR PRESIDENT IN AMERICA. YOU MUST BE A MORONIC AMERICAN TO BELIEVE IT IS ANYONE BUT PRESIDENT DJT. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

@realDonaldTrump Somebody is impersonating you Mr President...

@DonaldTrump I think we don't actually want content like that on here. The discussion sections are supposed to be good places and not so chaotic. And I'm also not a big fan of the entire collection of these impersonator accounts.

@FecalAbhuman @DonaldTrump @Eliza We gotta destroy this impersonator account, I was always the real president. And my comments are so much more Trumpian as well!

@realDonaldTrump ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. ONLY A STUPID REPUBLICAN WOULD FALL FOR THAT.

@DonaldTrump Chill. Eliza asked nicely, I'm accompanying my request with a 1 day temporary ban.
