Seniors Who Still Rock Business

Seniors Who Still Rock Business

It often seems that since the dot-com boom young people rule when it comes to business. Just ask the guys from Google (GOOG) and Facebook. What might surprise you, though, is just how many senior citizens—from media moguls to casino kings to Chinese tycoons—are cutting deals, starting new businesses, and generally kicking boomer and Gen Y butt. If 60 is the new 40, then 80 is the new 60. We decided to take the measure of this generation of leaders. So we surveyed our global network of correspondents and came up with a list of folks age 75 to 100 that continue to run their companies or wield real influence. We picked 50 and ranked them from oldest to youngest. Take a look and you decide how much value should be placed on experience.
