I think the importance of philosophers is only relative to their time - so this is the right answer.
John Green
Antia Sarkeesian
rupi kaur
Amen.
Three?
Obviously Plato and Aristotle are going to be there, because they lay down the best metaphysical and theological foundation ever created, accompanied by excellent ethical works. Beyond that... the Chinese have superior practical texts in certain fields, but they are spread across a number of authors and present in amalgamations like the Guanzi. I guess I would say XunZi if I could literally only add one more person to the list.
So,
Plato
Aristotle
XunZi
But more realistically the literal height of philosophy and politics is:
Classical Platonists & Classical Confucians and Legalists.
Ludwig Von Mises
Jiddu Krishnamurti

MP over Heidegger?
is this bait
I think he's doing important things for free speech, but he undermines himself when, instead of facilitating the sort of open dialogue he claims to support, he is more interested in shutting people down in as few words as possible. I like him, but he's too negative for me. I prefer Milo who can tend to do the same thing but does it when it's more necessary, and at least he is more receptive to opposing opinions and willing to find common ground
Plato
Aristotle
Kant
Sargon of Akkad
Stefan Molyneux
Ben Shapiro
I could only choose three, but their are obviously loads more!
