9. Caitlyn Jenner
The individual previously known as Bruce Jenner was in the news throughout 2015 when she publicly changed her first name to Caitlyn and announced to the world that she was transgender. The retired Olympic champion and reality television personality was featured in multiple noteworthy interviews and also TV shows such as Keeping Up With the Kardashians, 20/20 and I Am Cait. Jenner was awarded the Arthur Ashe Courage Award by ESPN during the 2015 edition of the ESPY Awards, and she has, intentionally or not, become arguably the most famous transgender person on the planet. Jenner’s celebrity status will likely only grow in 2016.
