Time 100

Time Magazine describes their list of the 100 Most Influential people in the World as those that “inspire us, entertain us, challenge us, and change our world.”

Each of the profiles on the Time 100 list is written by a fellow celebrity, usually someone within the same industry.

Here is the list of the 8 Jews that made the Time 100 list.

Louis CK (written by Joan Rivers)- What you see on Louie is just the tip of the iceberg — a funny, clever show. What you're not seeing is that he produces it, he writes it, he edits it, he knows every lens, every camera angle. He's Steven Spielberg without the beard and with humor.

Economist Elinor Ostrom (written by Robert Johnson)- Elinor Ostrom was the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2009 — the first woman to achieve the distinction — for her analysis of economic governance, especially the governance of common property like air, water and public spaces. Virtually all the world's most urgent problems require collective action. Be it environmental protection, the international financial system or the dimensions of inequality, Ostrom's work sheds light on the direction society must follow to avoid misuse of shared resources, "the tragedy of the commons."

Kingmaker Marc Andreessen (written by Harry McCracken) - Nearly two decades ago, Marc Andreessen co-created the first popular Web browser. Now he's the man to see for Internet start-up funding. With partner Ben Horowitz, Andreessen, 40, has raised a $2.7 billion war chest, which he's invested in major players (Facebook, Twitter) and rising stars (Pinterest, Instagram) in the platform he helped invent.

Funny Lady Chelsea Handler (written by Kathy Griffin) - Look, I don't know how Chelsea Handler does it. She presides over her own media empire — talk show, sitcom, books — all while sharing a network with Ryan Seacrest and the Kardashians. To hell with the TIME 100; she should be Person of the Year just for putting up with Khloe.
