President, Geely Auto
Auto executives around the world wondering whether China's industry will follow in the footsteps of Japan and Korea are keeping an eye on Li. The president of Geely is aiming to buy Volvo from Ford for roughly $2 billion. In September, Li got a vote of approval from Goldman Sachs (GS), as Geely sold a 12% stake to an investment fund connected to the bank for $245 million.
