Jo Bennett

Net Worth: $1.2 B

•    Source: Electronics, inheritance

•    Residence: Tallahassee, Fla.

Sabre Corporation CEO Jolene “Jo” Bennett turned a small Tallahassee computer parts manufacturer into dominant supplier of printers, fax machines and scanners. Recent achievements include the acquisition of regional paper company Dunder Mifflin; creating the award-winning “Print In All Colors” minority executive training program. In May 2010, Sabre was forced to issue a full recall of its GH400 printers after a whistleblower revealed their tendency to burst into flames, but Bennett’s careful handling of the PR crisis kept the company’s stock unaffected. Says you don’t get to be a powerful woman by slacking off: “You get there by working hard or marrying rich, and I did both.” Featured in the television series The Office.


C. Montgomery Burns

Net Worth: $1.1 B

•    Source: Energy

•    Residence: Springfield, U.S.

Long-time owner and operator of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant is a master of cut throat capitalism, a man who once blocked out the sun over Springfield to increase electricity use. Burns’ tyrannical management style is topped only by his viciously evil personal habits: Hobbies include stealing candy from babies, taunting immigrant laborers, releasing hounds on unwanted houseguests. Recently misdiagnosed with less than two months to live, Burns was stricken with amnesia following an unsuccessful suicide attempt. Upon recovering, learned that rage and bile are the only thing keeping him alive. “I want to die quietly on my own terms,” he says, “crushing as many baby sea turtles as I possibly can.” Featured in The Simpsons television series and films.


Chuck Bass

Net Worth: $1.1 B

•    Source: Real Estate

•    Residence: New York City

Tough year for the bad boy billionaire, who is locked in a battle for control of Bass Industries with his late-father’s business rival Russell Thorpe. Thorpe appears to be winning, but many Manhattan real estate insiders think Bass will ultimately prevail: “Manipulative, deceptive, arrogant, greedy and shallow. He’s a natural.” Daytime wardrobe embraces three P’s – purple, plaid and preppy. For night, three V’s – vest, velvet and Valentino. Featured in the Gossip Girl television series and novels.


Gordon Gekko

Net Worth: $1.1 B

•    Source: Investments

•    Residence: New York City

The legendary corporate raider famously boasted “greed is good” in 1987, and made billions at the pioneering investment firm Gekko & Co. But when a plan to buy out Bluestar Airlines went awry, Gekko was convicted of insider trading and securities fraud. Following his release from prison in 2001, Gekko became an author and lecturer, and was one of the few voices to predict a bursting credit bubble. As that financial crisis unfolded, Gekko sank his estranged daughter’s trust fund into a new London-based hedge fund, and his personal net worth surged skyward. Now reportedly focused on shorting municipal bonds, eyeing companies that mine rare-earth elements. Says “It’s not about the money. It’s about the game.” Featured in Oliver Stone’s Wall Street films.


Jeffrey Lebowski

Net Worth: $1.0 B

•  Source: Inheritance

•  Residence: Los Angeles, Calif.

Wheelchair-bound Korean War vet is a trustee of the Lebowski Foundation, which sends inner-city children to college via the Little Lebowski Urban Achievers program. Recipient of various commendations and honorary degrees, including the key to the city of Pasadena and the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce Business Achiever award. He calls second wife Bunny the “light of my life,” but hopes she “will someday learn to live on her allowance, which is ample.” Lebowski is dogged by rumors that he has no money of his own, and lives off funds his deceased first wife left to the Foundation. He’s unbowed. “I’ve accomplished more than most men, and without the use of my legs,” he says. “The bums will always lose!” Featured in the Coen Brothers’ film The Big Lebowski.
