**The 2025 Forbes Top Creators List Nomination: The 50 Most Powerful Influencers**
For the fourth consecutive year, Forbes is now accepting nominations for its prestigious list of the world’s most influential and entrepreneurial digital creators. This esteemed ranking recognizes individuals who have built massive followings on social media platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, X, and Snap.
To make this quantitative list, we at Forbes will be estimating each creator’s gross earnings between March 2024 and March 2025. Our partners at Influential will provide follower counts across these platforms, as well as engagement rates (likes, comments, and shares divided by total followers).
What makes a creator worthy of consideration for this list? We’re looking for individuals who have leveraged their online presence to build their own brands, companies, and services – or who have used their influence to secure lucrative deals with major advertisers. Those who solely focus on traditional advertising will not be considered.
