Top 19 most influential celebrities of the modern age – See who’s number 1! (With Pictures)

4. Bono

Bono is just one of those celebrities whose name is synonymous with both his music as well as humanitarian efforts which take many different shapes and forms. From founding ONE, which helps fight against poverty in its utmost extremes, to taking a stand against a huge array of political issues like terrorism and disease, Bono is one of the most politically active and widely known celebrities in the world. Despite ONE having been under recent scrutiny for the small amount of money that actually goes to those in need, Bono still delivers a message of peace on a regular basis and, let’s face it, you would never talk about something that much unless it was something that you truly cared about. Like he’s said on a regular basis, peace is not something that can come overnight for it takes a lot of time and effort to finally achieve it, but it is obtainable and all we have to do is work at it for it to one day become our reality.

3. Barack Obama

President Barack Obama has been one of the most influential presidents of the United States and, even if all may not agree with his results, he has shaped a better America for all since being elected into office in 2008. While his accomplishments are far too many to name, what can be said is that he has brought America closer to living the American Dream in almost every way possible. From the Affordable Care Act to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, he has put the money right back where it belongs, in the hands of hard-working Americans who evidently make up the economy on their own soil. By lowering the taxes for the lower and middle classes, he has ensured that there will be enough money for them to feed their children and live the lives that they deserve. Through bringing nutritious lunches to schools, he has made sure that every child has access to a healthy meal. He has done this and so much more while serving as the President of the United States of America and here’s to hoping that the next one continues in his footsteps which make inclusion, diversity and peace a vital part of their agenda.
