[LoTR] Consider for a moment if the One Ring has survived undiscovered until the present day. What kind of person might uncover it and whose hands might it ultimately end up in? Finally, how would Sauron seek to benefit from it's discovery in the modern era?

The thing about the One Ring is that it can use *anybody* in its quest to make it back to the Dark Lord.

It can corrupt someone as simple as a hobbit, turning Sméagol into Gollum, or as powerful as an Istari. Sméagol held onto the ring because of the covetousness in his heart. Gandalf feared that it would corrupt his good intentions, making him an unwitting agent of evil.

In its history, though, the Ring has more commonly been in the possession of a common folk than on the hand of a king. It seems to want to remain hidden until such a time that Sauron is ready to reclaim it.

Because of that, it would probably end up in the possession of a janitor or someone of similar "low" class, rather than in the collection of a billionaire or world leader.

And Sauron doesn't benefit from someone using the ring, he benefits from its return to his possession. The Ring would have the bearer hide it, keeping it safe, until Sauron was strong enough to send the Nazgûl to reclaim it.
