The Top 49 Most Influential Men challenges AskMen\u2019s readers to determine which male figures have made the biggest impact and, ultimately, shaped what it means to be a man of influence in 2011. George Clooney holds the record as the only person to be named to the Top 49 for all six years.<\/p>\n

The year of the visionaries, Steve Jobs, SEAL Team Six, Larry Page, Warren Buffet and Kanye West round out the top 5 positions on the 2011 list. Other notables include Andrew Mason, Jack Dorsey, and Mark Zuckerberg, representing the surge of tech visionaries who men find influential. Hollywood heavyweights including Ryan Gosling, Ashton Kutcher, Bradley Cooper, Charlie Sheen, and Simon Cowell all made the list.<\/p>\n
