CNBC's Dopey Top 25 Business Leaders List

edited April 2014 in Off-Topic
Bezos is above Buffett? Jack Welch, who hasn't been CEO of GE since 2001? Sandy Weill? Greenspan and Bernanke? Gates at #2? (I'd maybe flip Gates/Buffett.) Jack Bogle is in the top 10, as is Larry Ellison?

I like seeing Li Ka-shing on there, but have lots of issues with some of the rest of it. Costco's James Sinegal should have been at least on the lower end of that list. Irwin/Paul Jacobs of Qualcomm would have been another.

    As a list of people that significantly influenced business/industry, had broader impact than their own companies/domain, and reshaped one or more industries/domains in one way or the other (not just they were good at their jobs) anytime during the last quarter century, I don't see a problem with that list. I would have expected to see Elon Musk in that list (despite my personal opinions of him as a person) but any list has a cut off.

    As to the order, it all depends on how you sort apples and oranges.
