Anyone can use an annuity. If you're asking who is most likely to benefit most from an annuity that answer would be anyone who needs a stable, predictable, and reliable income stream.
Another type of person who benefits from owning an annuity is anyone who believes they will live a long time as annuities can provide income that lasts for ones lifetime even if the income stream is more than the initial money in the annuity.
