Doesn’t That level of power automatically makes someone:
Publicly known (at least in business, government, media circles) Documented online, in filings, press, contracts, etc. Recognizable to anyone
Especially if the CEO is a person of color who came from a middle class background
Wouldn’t they be automatically famous?
There will be people like Tim Apple who regularly make it to normal people news. The majority will be famous within their industry, often only within their country, if a all.
These top whatever biz lists are masturbatory exercises. Virtually no one who isn’t on there gives a shit.
