Any idea how to display the top Discourse users on a WordPress site? For example like this?

Maybe embedding top ranking users? Look for API from ranking global here or wait someone response ya.
One thing to consider: are users as happy about that an admin that uses theirs profiles as an ad on totally different site?

You could use a similar approach to what the WP Discourse Shortcodes plugin does. It makes API requests to Discourse to get data in a JSON format, then uses the data to generate HTML.
It’s been a while since I looked at that plugin, but possibly it could be extended to add a leaderboard shortcode.
I’m going to make some Discourse blocks for the WordPress Block Editor soon. I’ll think about creating a leaderboard block. Leaderboards are a bit of an anti-feature for me, but I don’t think that’s the case for a lot of people.
Discourse could also look into creating more embeddable widgets - similar to Embed a List of Discourse Topics Into an External Site. A leaderboard widget would be a good candidate for that.

Thanks for your responses.
@eisammy In looking for a solution, I tried to avoid saying for two reasons. First, I’m not a programmer and then someone would have to maintain the code over time.
@Jagster I understand your concern, but in our case it is the same website. https://www.svetandroida.cz/ and https://komunita.svetandroida.cz/
@simon Thank you for the recommendation. I had looked at the Wp-discourse-shortcodes plugin plugin before, but was discouraged from using it by its long inactivity.
The WordPress shortcode for Gutenberg sounds like a good idea though.

It is not same site, but what ever.
