Thomas Spencer Monson (born August 21, 1927) is an American religious leader and author, and the 16th and current President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (for those of us who didn't know who he was).
My list would be very different.
1. My Wife - She has put up with me for many years and raised great children.
2. My mother - She raised 3 very young children on her own & is very generous.
3/4. My son & daughter - They have turned to be great people & parents.
5/6. My son-in-law & daughter-in-law - Great parents & people/
(OK I know they are not all men!)
Then I might add the Pope, Dalai Lama, Billy Graham, and Tim Tebow not necessarily in that order.
Barrack Obama, Bill Clinton & Donald Trump would not be anywhere on the radar screen!
Actually at the bottom of the poll is:

Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh. W. H. Auden
Animals do not admire each other. A horse does not admire its companion. Thomas Mann
