Steve Jobs named most powerful person in business
December 08, 07 by Mr.Q
Fortune’s recently released (and highly subjective) list of 25 most powerful people in business named many of the tech industry people as the movers and shakers of the world. At the top of the food chain is Apple’s chairman and CEO, Steve Jobs. Not much surprises there. Many may doubt the number one position, but they surely can’t disagree with his name being in the list. Runner up is Rupert Murdoch, the media mogul, who acquired Down Jones for $5 billion, and more recently scooped up Myspace for $580 million in 2005.
Wait, is Bill Gates still in the list? Yes, he is. He’s number 7. Not bad for a guy who only work part-time now, and soon to be “retired”. Among the tech people who made the list are the Google cofounders at #4, Cisco’s CEO at 11, and HP’s CEO at 16. For the complete list, check out the source link.

I thought the OPEC people will be the most power business leader, can’t believe it’s Steve Jobs. This ranking is bias. Apples must pay Fortune for make them top of list.
