Amal, a human rights lawyer, married actor George Clooney earlier this year
London:
Actor George Clooney's wife Amal Alamuddin has been named the 'most fascinating person of 2014' in Barbara Walters' list for ABC, reported Digital Spy.
The 36-year-old human rights lawyer was chosen as part of the recently-retired journalist's '10 Most Fascinating People' special for ABC.
Amal sits on the top spot among the previous winners, including public figures and politicians like Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton, Mother Teresa, Hillary Clinton, Steve Jobs and JK Rowling.
"Amazingly, Amal has been the subject of very little snark or envy," Ms Walters said. "Maybe because we, like George Clooney, find it impossible to resist perfection. Or maybe because it is heartening to think that no matter how long it may take, the perfect someone is out there for everyone," she added.
Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, Lucy leading lady Scarlett Johansson, Netflix-bound chatshow host Chelsea Handler and OWN boss Oprah Winfrey were previously announced among the top 10.
