Former Mumtalakat CEO Talal Al Zain fell 372 places this year.
Power is a subjective entity and often short-lived, as this year’s list demonstrates.
While Egyptian activist Wael Ghonim parachuted in at number two in 2011, after his online publicity of the Arab Spring movement in Tahrir Square, he has slipped to 165 on this year’s list and has been replaced in the upper echelons of the rankings by activists from Libya and Yemen.
Those to make the biggest falls include Syrian-born and Argentinean-based designer Alan Faena who fell 432 places to 485.
He was followed by Syrian actor Tayem Hassan who fell 379 places to 444 and Talal Al Zain who left his position as CEO of Bahrain sovereign wealth fund Mumtalakat and subsequently The biggest winner on the list was Lebanese actress Nadine Labaki, whose film ‘Where Do We Go Now?’ won the prestigious audience award at the Toronto Film Festival and saw her rise 370 places to 52.
