Ron Paul, the former congressman and presidential candidate, came in at the top spot.

The list of favorite libertarians in politics, academia, entertainment, finance and more was determined by Newsmax and a survey conducted in March by FreedomFest.  Over 10,000 people responded to the Newsmax/FreedomFest Survey, making for a thrilling race with different names overtaking the pack throughout the month.

Newsmax and FreedomFest reviewed the results and selected their list of Top 100 Most Influential Libertarians with an assessment of their influence.
