How do you value a person? How important is one person in the grand scheme of things? A grain of sand maybe? How much influence / impact does one peson have on the world? Seemingly it depends on the individual and how well known they are. Fame isn't a measure of value though.
A few unusual individuals do actually make a difference - for good or for ill. My main influence on anything will have been as a teacher. Only my students can judge whether that was for good or ill. I suppose individuals also influence their family, friends & aquaintances.
It's all ripples on a pond. Each person starts a ripple which spreads out from them at the centre. The ripple can be beneficial or malign. I think the only thing we can hope for is that it's the former not the latter. If each one of us tried to do good, be kind & considerate the world would be a better place.
