Angela Merkel
Risk 67German retired politician
Germany's "Mutti" spent sixteen years steering Europe's largest economy with the unflappable calm of a physicist who'd rather crunch numbers than create drama—and at 71, she's finally traded coalition headaches for a well-earned retirement. Her famously methodical approach to life suggests she's probably optimizing her pension years with characteristic German efficiency, though surviving a decade and a half of European politics might be the ultimate stress test. Still, betting against someone this pragmatic feels a bit like betting against German engineering itself.
