President Barack Obama has regained the top spot on Forbes’ third annual ranking of The 70 Most Powerful People In The World, having lost it last year to Chinese President Hu Jintao, who fell to No. 3 this year. Four factors were taken into account to select the 70 people that matter from the 7 billion people on the planet: how many people they have power over; the financial resources they control; if they have influence in more than one sphere; and how actively they wield their power to change the world. The Top 10 Most Powerful People In The World:

1. President Barack Obama   

2. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin     

3. Chinese President Hu Jintao          

4. German Chancellor Angela Merkel
