The American Biographical Institute invites individuals to purchase various honors as a commemorative in their inclusion for a specific biography. Such honors include “International Man of the Year,” “Most Admired Man of the Decade” or “Outstanding Man of the 21st Century” (see list below), or to be included in ABI publications, such as 500 Leaders of Science or The World Book of Knowledge, in exchange for a contribution fee.
On its website, the publisher describes itself as “one of the world’s leading biographical reference publishers and authorities on global contemporary achievement” and claims that “inclusion in an ABI reference title is based on personal achievement alone and is not available for purchase.”
The awards and titles issued by the American Biographical Institute include:
Continental Governor for the United States of America
Deputy Governor of the American Biographical Institute Research Association
Einsteinian Chair of Science
Genius Laureate of the United States
Most Admired Man of the Decade
