Tennis champion Andy Murray was 11th
Famous faces from the UK dominate a list of the 30 most influential Europeans with Star Wars actor John Boyega, Adele and Emma Watson making the cut.
Forbes has compiled its first "30 Under 30 Europe" list which includes 12 big names from the UK.
The list, which mirrors a long-established US version, includes Game Of Thrones actress Emilia Clarke, Star Wars lead Daisy Ridley, tennis ace
Andy Murray, athlete Jessica Ennis-Hill, singers FKA Twigs, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith and Florence Welch, and rapper Little Simz.
Representing Ireland are actress Saoirse Ronan, singer Hozier, and golf star Rory McIlroy.
Boyega, 23, is top of the list and said he decided to pursue his acting dream as a young teenager after discovering people "get paid for playing other people".
He said: "I just embarked on a journey of training and meeting new people, and I found myself going up for professional auditions, and I always wanted to do
it, so it felt organic.
"When I found out about the reality of the acting industry... I was just like: Do you know what, I'm just going to go for it anyway."
Those listed have been recognised for their game-changing leadership, disruption of their field, and likelihood of changing the entertainment industry
in the next half century.
The full list features 300 young innovators and entrepreneurs from across 10 categories, including the arts, industry, and technology.
Randall Lane, editor of Forbes, said: "Researching, vetting and launching our first ever 30 Under 30 Europe list was an incredible task.
"We scoured the continent to find the most talented millennials and, with the help of our expert judges, are proud to honour 300 of the most important young
entrepreneurs, creative leaders and brightest stars in Europe right now."
