The 15 most influential Millennials on the planet who have already begun to change the world

On October 15, 2017, Sebastian Kurz, the current and youngest foreign minister in the world, the head of the Austrian People's Party, won the early parliamentary elections in Austria. This means that he can become the chancellor of the country — and the youngest leader of the state in the world.

It is not the first time that representatives of the younger generation declare themselves to the whole of humanity. They are called millennials or generation Y — these are people who were born after 1981 and met the new millennium at a young age. Despite a fairly small number of years, they have already managed to become influential figures in government and business.
