They are shining lights burning brightly on the world stage – expats who have left our shores to lands afar to make their fame, fortune and cement high-flying careers.

Having either been born in South Australia, or grew up here, these expatriates might still call SA home, but have become leaders, or people of influence, in their respective fields overseas.

Topping the rankings is one of the world’s biggest music stars, who beat out a political genius and a mega star actor who has graced our screens and stage.

The lawyers, diplomats, entertainers, business leaders, and scientists have carved out impressive resumes.

It was, without doubt, a highly competitive list that was one of the hardest to compile with some outstanding individuals having just missed out.

Some expats, such as sports players, have featured in other rankings so have been omitted.

This list is the final instalment in the countdown to The Advertiser’s annual power rankings with SA’s 100 most influential people of 2024 to be revealed next week.

In the lead up, The Advertiser has ranked the state’s most powerful people across different industries including sport, public service, entertainment and business.
