Managing editor Richard Stengel announced the winner on Wednesday’s edition of The Today Show. He said finalists included the year's most famous bride, Kate Middleton;  Admiral William H. McRaven, who helped lead the Navy SEAL operation that captured Osama Bin Laden; and Congressman Paul Ryan.

Stengel said that late Apple founder Steve Jobs is well-remembered in the magazine, but the purpose of the issue is not “a lifetime achievement award,” but who made the biggest impact in the calendar year, positive or not.

All three men are internationally-wanted suspects in the wake of the warrants being issued.
