Warren Buffett Gets #5 Power Ranking from Vanity Fair
Warren Buffett is #5 on the just-released Vanity Fair 100 list, the magazine's annual "power ranking." That's up one slot from last year's #6 ranking, dislodging his good friend Bill Gates.
 |
A paragraph accompanying the list on Vanity Fair's website notes that Mr. Buffett has "finally unveiled his plans to name a successor" by narrowing down "thousands of contestants in an American Idol-like runoff." (Will we be seeing Ryan, Simon, Paula and Randy in Omaha?)
Finishing ahead of Mr. Buffett on the list are:
- Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. (#1 last year)
- Steve Jobs, Apple, Disney, Pixar (#3 last year)
- Sergey Brin and Larry Page, Google (#2 last year)
- Stephen Schwarzman and Pete Peterson, The Blackstone Group (#34 last year)
Just behind Warren:
- Bill Clinton (#7 last year)
- Steven Spielberg (#10 last year)
- Bernard Arnault, LVMH (#19 last year)
- Michael Bloomberg, New York City mayor (#36 last year)
- Bill and Melinda Gates (#5 last year)
All in all, not bad company to be in.
