TIME Magazine unveils their 100 Most Influential People in the World list for 2012.

Basketball sensation Jeremy Lin, “The Help” star Viola Davis, British Diva Adele, Kate‘s younger sister Pippa Middleton, and R&B superstar Rihanna are among those to have made it onto Time magazine’s most influential list.

The list, based from an online poll, is categorized into the following categories: moguls, breakouts, icons, pioneers and leader, 54 of them non-Americans.

It’s also interesting to note that 38 women made it to this year’s list which was more than in previous years. However, media proprietor Oprah Winfrey was notably missed out.
