More barons
|
Hi Everyone
I need names of some living barons, not in the aristocratic sense but that of people that control large parts of an industry. eg. media baron Rupert Murdoch.
Thanks in advance

Conrad Black, who is a Canadian by birth, gave up his citizenship to become a "Baron". Unfortunately, he is of the same ilk as Rupert... they must be related somehow.. or maybe all media moguls are crooks!

The description here mentions some names that may help:
"Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Ford are here, as well as J.P. Morgan, William Randolph Hearst, Howard Hughes, Malcolm Forbes, Warren Buffett, Steven Spielberg, and Bill Gates."
and another link:
business magnates:
and probably the best list (the English is bad though):
and one more list:

My first idea was Richard Branson, a modern tycoon. I also thought of Lakshmi Mittal (steel magnate) and Carlos Slim (telecom), among the richest men on the planet.

If you are looking for Australian magnates/tycoons (which are our equivalent terms of baron) then take a look at the 2011 list here - Number 1 is a female, Gina Rinehart (mining industry). |
