Time Magazine seems to put this list out every year, Here are the lists for 2025, 2024, 2023 .

Who will drop out, who will be added?

Question resolves N/A if no list. Question is on even if it's a smaller list, e.g. 10 names rather than 100.

Please add names, it's just M100 each.

I will trade in this market, as resolution seems unambiguous enough.
