As we delve into our flagship Top 100 Arabs Power List for 2024, this year’s honour roll welcomes eight new entrants to the list. These dynamic individuals have been building their influence not just in the Arab world but across the global landscape over the past year. As expected, some of our power listers have moved up and down, with a few exiting the list. We also have 21 women power listers this year.

In terms of our methodology, Gulf Business looked at the events of 2023-24 and rated the listees on the basis of four criteria: financial capital, human capital, expansion plans and level of personal fame. In general, Gulf Business has excluded politicians and royalty, unless the contenders have a strong leaning towards business activity. We have included Arabs from across the world.

Through their remarkable achievements, all of these individuals continue to redefine possibilities and inspire generations to come. Click on the names below to view the list. Also, you can read and view the full feature in our digital magazine by clicking here.
