What are you, 8?
Try giving an accurate answer to the question if you can, if you are as wise as you appear to be
In the least conspiracy way ever, I believe that it's the people you never hear about or see in the news.
Even the biggest money manager or rainmaker advisor has clients. Politicians answer to their constituents.
Notice how the wealthiest families of all time are never mentioned in any Forbes list or any of that shit.
The truly powerful don't want anyone to know it, lest it upset the balance.
In the US at least. Autocratic leaders like putin, Kim jong un, and the like are incredibly powerful in their regions.
100%. Xi Jinping as well. US runs on democracy so political leaders here have less of a say in things
Do you know any of such people or families by any chance?
You tryna lateral to a powerful family or something?
.
In this day and age, probably human resources lmao
Power. What is that? It’s an ill-defined question to begin with. Is it money? Bezos has a lot of money. And influence. He has it’s own newspaper, media company, etc. But he’s at the mercy of politicians decisions/regulation. Same with Zuck, or Bill Gates, or anyone else. And they can’t bomb a country. Biden can, but he can’t decide monetary policy…
Wealthy families nobody heard about? Those don’t exist. Can keep low profile and not be a household name, but they are not unknown. And for one bug family with money and influence, there’s another one with same amount of money and influence in the opposite direction.
That’s the beauty of this world. Everyone has some power, nobody has all the power, who is the most powerful person is a bit dumb question.
