According to the published GQ's 2014 list, U2's Bono is the least influential person.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, GQ's Drew Magary wrote that Bono-led U2 secured the first place for foisting its new album upon many iTunes users.
Magary added that people couldn't even delete it, hence, Apple had to send out specific instructions for how to wipe 'Songs of Innocence' off their computer.
The US President Obama made it to the 2nd spot on the list for golfing instead of dealing with various issues.
Former Clippers owner Donald Sterling also placed high on GQ's list of the lowly, with Magary writing that the racist/slumlord/pervert/nudist ex-NBA owner displayed a remarkable lack of power in 2014 and he failed to keep his girlfriend from recording him saying a bunch of horrible shit about black people.
Carter Bays, Craig Thomas, Zach Braff and Roger Goodell also made it to the top 6 in the list.
