Vanity Fair names Hasan Piker most powerful person
Ranked #49 on their 2026 list, he's the only streamer or influencer in a field that includes Elon Musk, Pope Leo XIV, AOC, and David Ellison.
The list is absurd but the fact that it exists at all says something about how much cultural weight streaming actually carries now, whether Vanity Fair wants to admit it or not.
A major magazine just named a streamer one of the world's most powerful people, whether that's a compliment to Piker or an indictment of the list.
