Why not Briatore for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 73-year-old business man, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Briatore so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the business man have already been named ‘Italian Of The Year’ by some major Italian newspapers and even ‘Verzuolo Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Verzuolo (Flavio Briatore's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the business man was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Flavio Briatore Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”

“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveFlavio”

“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Flavio Briatore?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 28 Mar 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Flavio Briatore?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
