For some, 2014 was a good year; for others, it was a great year. It was the year of the big-screen iPhone, the fight against Ebola, powerful political protests, and revolutionary breakthroughs in health and technology.

We named the 24 most impressive people of the year starting with the overall winner, India’s new prime minister, Narendra Modi.

From finance and tech to politics and entertainment, these are the people who amazed us the most this year.
MOST IMPRESSIVE: Narendra Modi is poised to reignite India’s economy.

Prime Minister Modi is turning over a new leaf for India. The country’s stock index is at record highs.

Since he entered office in May, Modi has reworked the government’s budget, made bank accounts more accessible to everyone, made advances in reforming labor laws, transformed the government into a more transparent and open place, and formed positive relationships with China, Japan, and the US.

He’s a political figure who’s putting people’s faith back in India, and he’s utterly beloved by the people of India. He won the May 2014 election by a landslide, and since then he’s kept people’s faith in him through his initiatives both home and abroad.

Modi is undoubtedly India’s newest and biggest rockstar.

Bill Ackman is soaring during a rough patch on Wall Street.

It was a tough year for most hedge-fund managers, but Ackman still ended up on top, most notably making $2.2 billion when Actavis bought pharmaceutical company Allergan in November.

Additionally, the net returns for Pershing Square, Ackman’s hedge fund, are over 30% for the year. Ackman is famous for a big short of Herbalife, a multilevel marketing company that sells weight-loss shakes. But he’s had most success with his stakes in Allergan and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
