"It's only appropriate that Prime Minister Ardern, a one-time DJ, became a rock star of New Zealand politics," Ms Ardern's profile reads.
"Her fervent support among Kiwis, dubbed Jacindamania, helped reverse her Labour Party's ailing fortunes this fall and catapulted her to the title of world's youngest female leader.
"The buzz continued when she announced her pregnancy and in June painted a once-in-a-generation vignette: a female head of government, cradling her newborn and embarking on six weeks of maternity leave."
Among those featured in the 2018 list include ; Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg, Instagram co-founder and chief executive Kevin Systrom and Airbnb co founder and chief executive Brian Chesky.
