Hamilton author and star Lin-Manuel Miranda has been named number 18 among 50 “World's Greatest Leaders” by Fortune magazine.

He stands in the company of leaders from many fields including business, government, philanthropy and the arts, whom Fortune said “are transforming the world and inspiring others to do the same.”

The magazine's profile says, in part: “Hamilton, a musical biography of the bastard immigrant who became the first U.S. Treasury secretary, ranks among the most inventive, emotionally gripping theater pieces ever written. But as giddily virtuosic as Miranda’s music and lyrics are, it’s the casting concept that reveals the profundity of his vision. Without comment or apology, black and Hispanic actors (including Miranda, as Hamilton) portray every Founding Father. It’s Miranda’s way of asserting that America’s ideals belong to everyone—and it’s arguably the most optimistic, civic-minded statement any artist is making today.”

Among others on the list: Pope Francis, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, talk show host John Oliver, songwriter John Legend, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. See the complete list here.
