LeaderBoard CONVERSATION THE INTEREST GRAPH Social media stars and top tech investors occupy vastly different worlds, but both sparked major interest among online readers of our April 25 issue. STEVEN BERTONI’S cover story on Josh Kushner (April 25) gave readers an unprecedented glimpse into the lesser-known mogul among the Trump in-laws. With all eyes on big brother Jared, Josh has spent the administration’s early days threading the needle as the liberal-minded leader of both venture firm Thrive and Oscar, a health care startup whose business model is threatened by the uncertain fate of Obamacare. Readers fell largely into two camps: those surprised that the younger Kushner welcomed Forbes’ attention (media outreach is “not usually [his] forte,” one observed) and those scornful of the insinuation that this 32-year-old venture capitalist and entrepreneur remotely resembled a modern Horatio Alger. “Cool Josh Kushner profile,” tweeted Alice Yin, “but not sure why a Harvard grad who grew up rich in NJ is described as a ‘self-made man.’ ” UNDER THE INFLUENCE The world’s biggest social-media personalities: charlatans—or enviable new avatars of the digital economy? CHERIE HERRMANN, POPSUGAR: “Influencers have officially taken over the (digital) world. We stalk-follow their every move, and we talk about them like they’re our friends. They are our real friends, right?” KENZIE BRYANT, VANITY FAIR: “There’s still a path to riches in ‘influencing.’ . . . It’s a magic combination of reach, engagement and the evernebulous but crucial authenticity. That authenticity can create a barrier to more traditional stardom, though.” SERGEI ISSAREV: “The age of lemmings. The whole concept of an ‘influencer’ is ridiculous. Think for yourself!” Top Influencers: Power Players Who’ve Turned Social-Media Platforms Into Fortunes and Empires 486,345 page views Midas List 2017: The World’s Smartest Tech Investors 270,854 Josh Kushner’s Complex World: How Jared’s Little Brother Runs a Billion-Dollar Fund in the Trump Era 50,310 A Guide to the Millionaires, Billionaires and Royals Who Live Near Mar-a-Lago 32,505 The XX Factor: Inside the Fight to Reinvent Financial Advice for Women 23,704 The Billionaire and the Drug-Price-Fixing Scandal 15,541 Move Over, Peter Thiel: How Brian Singerman Became Founders Fund’s Top VC “The Ellevest site hits the hot buttons, promoting itself with a ‘Money Is Power’ slogan and a #FinancialFeminist hashtag.” 9,564 “Through no action of his own, either Paint, by Numbers: Billionaires professionally or Behind the Biggest Art Transactions politically, Josh Kushner gets THE BOMB saddled with all the 976 VIEWS Trump baggage.” 32 | FORBES JUNE 13, 2017 “As Facebook’s IPO fades into Silicon Valley history, 2017 could be the last ride for a group of top investors.” @FROZENBERRIES: “$25,000 per post? I’d be happy with £2.50 per post right now.” RACHEL JACOBY ZOLDAN, TEEN VOGUE: “The 10 influencers in each category have a combined social-media following of 250 million people—larger than the population of Brazil.” @_BHMIRZAYAN: “This is a first: @Forbes Top Influencer list—a beneficial tool for both marketers and consumers.” CABOT THOMAS: “ ‘Social Media Influencer’: code-speak for unemployable Millennial.” BY ALEXANDRA WILSON
