Being Times person of the year means you have had a significant impact, not that you are necessarily a good person. It says nothing about doing good deeds.

A subtlety lost on many.

Voldemort was a great wizard.

What most people don't know about Voldemort? Pretty good at karaoke. Not great, but surprisingly better than you thought.

The whole NYSE thing though is blatantly sucking up to Trump. And since Times already gave it to him once, maybe don't feed his overinflated ego even more? Because there is no way he is going to take it as a negative, as his desperate desire to be on the cover has shown.
