Greek-American Arianna Huffington features alongside Freddie Mercury and Elon Musk in the inaugural list celebrating the achievements of first and second generation migrants.
Huffington’s founding of the HuffPost contributed to her inclusion.
HuffPost founder Arianna Huffington has been listed within the top 25 most influential and successful migrants of all time, according to research conducted by easyEsta.
Huffington made the prestigious list for the recognition that she received due to her media work including being named #12 in Forbes’ first list of the Most Influential Women in Media, moving up to #42 in The Guardian’s Top 100 in Media list and appearing on both television and radio as herself.
With migration and its perceived effects forever at the forefront of political discussion, easyEsta wanted to show the immense impact first and second generation migrants can make to their new homes and Huffington was a standout candidate.
A spokesperson from easyESTA said:
“Culture is incredibly important to us at easyESTA, we commissioned this study to better understand the significance of migration and how migration has positively impacted on different industries.
“The research surprised us with how diverse people really are. We gained insight into the migrants’ physical and metaphorical journeys. By understanding the cultures that have influenced the migrants’ lives, a new meaning has been added to their legacies.”
Greek-American Huffington is featured alongside the likes of Madeleine Albright, Sadiq Khan, Evgeny Lebedev, Chris Froome and Anthony Joshua – all of whom have made an enormous contribution to the country either they or their parents migrated to.
The announcement of the winners comes at a time where politicians such as Tony Blair are calling for tougher immigration controls and President of the United States of America, Donald Trump has declared the end of DACA.
