Jeff Bezos is a possible candidate for TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year for many reasons.
Despite stepping down as Amazon’s CEO four years ago, he continues to serve as its executive chairman and is a major shareholder. For this reason, he likely shapes many of the company’s big decisions and is fundamental to its continued success.
What’s more, his aerospace company Blue Origin is leading the way in the private space sector, enjoying successful launches in 2025, placing it one step closer to establishing a human presence outside of planet Earth.
Also, he is the current owner of The Washington Post, which plays a huge role in journalism and international media.
Plus, he is striving to make an impact through various philanthropic efforts, as the Bezos Earth Fund has committed $10 billion to climate change by 2030, and his Day One Fund is striving to boost education and end homelessness.
President Donald Trump is the Frontrunner
US President Donald Trump is the frontrunner to be named TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year 2025.
Despite losing the 2020 election, he surprised many people worldwide by securing a second term in 2024, resulting in his return to office in January 2025.
Since then, he has made it his mission to alter American policies, which have had a ripple effect on the world’s economy.
For instance, he has imposed new tariffs on more than 20 countries worldwide while becoming heavily involved in international relations regarding the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Iran conflict.
As his global influence and impact are undeniable, he might be a tough candidate to beat for TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year for 2025. It would be his second consecutive win and the third of his career, as he received the title in 2024 and 2016.
Elon Musk Could Win for a Second Time
President Trump isn’t the only competition Jeff Bezos will face for TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year 2025, as other names are likely in the running.
For instance, Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, has dominated aerospace, AI development, social media, the automotive industry, and politics in 2025.
Prime examples include many successful launches of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets, the advancement of the Neuralink chip, and the development of more affordable Tesla electric vehicles.
What’s more, he was named Senior Advisor to the US President earlier this year and recently announced the creation of a new political organization, America Party, to transform American politics.
If Elon Musk is named TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year for 2025, it will be the second time he has received the title in his career, as his impact and influence were recognized in 2021.
If you believe Jeff Bezos will be named TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year, you could win $4692 by betting $100 if it happens.
