'Your Boss' On the Vanity Fair Power List

September 1, 2010

The October issue, with Lindsay Lohan on the cover, features The Vanity Fair 100 for 2010.  The Information Age is well represented, with Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, Apple’s Steve Jobs, and the Google Guys taking the top 3 spots.  But how did the financial world fare, or should we say, "fair?" 

Well, Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein dropped from No. 1 in 2009 to No. 100 this year - hard to believe, but true.  "First to worst" in 12 months, as successful as Blankfein and the firm have been.  Larry Fink, the BlackRock CEO described in April by Vanity Fair as “maybe the most powerful man in the post-bailout economy,” is ranked No. 15, down just slightly from 2009.  Only other Wall Streeters to appear on the list:  #24 billionaire financier Ron Perelman;  #30 JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon;  #31 Mexican investor Calos Slim Helu;  #45 pioneer buyout artist Ted Forstmann;  #69 PIMCo bond guru Bill Gross;  #76 hedge fund manager David Tepper.  Gao Xing, the head of the powerful China Investment Corporation, was #70.  

And, there are others - including Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffet and NYTines business columnist Gretchen Morgenson.  For the complete list, click onto:  [ The Vanity Fair 100, 9/1 ]
