He's one of the richest CEO's in the world, he's an alum of my university, he grew up in the same suburb that I did, he runs marathons well (just like me) and he's all around a complete legend.

 
wallstdjIf you could trade places with any CEO in the world who would it be and why?
This post is typical of someone with the 'blue collar background' you described a while back. Fuck being a CEO unless you own like 30% of the stock.

I don't get what your trying to say buddy. It was a question all in good fun. I mean you have guys asking whether or not they should marry their girlfriends on this site, at least this is somewhat relavent to the theme of the website.

I'm talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred million dollars, buddy. A player. Or nothing. See my Blog & AMA
 
TylerTThen again, I'm happy just being a lowly consultant, and looking at all the independent consultants who left big firms, work their own hours, have plenty of work life balance, spend weeks at the lake, or a winter home in Belize...and I have to think, those guys seem pretty happy...and their just their own CEO's.

I like that

I'm a fan of this as well...

I'm thinking Dominic Barton of McKinsey. Imagine all the business contacts, high profile clients (private and public) and information the man must have.

 

Jamie Dimon because he's dreamy as fuck

There have been many great comebacks throughout history. Jesus was dead but then came back as an all-powerful God-Zombie.
 

It would definitely be a private company.

There's too much bull shit to deal with as a public company C-level officer. Too much catering to analysts and too much PR. I know the CEO of a former F500 company now gone bankrupt that had to cough up $10mm for withholding some information in a quarterly call.

If I could be immune from legal ramifications, I'd probably be Jeff Skilling. He was "fucking" smart.

 

I would trade places with the CEO of the company I work for.

The dude just bough a Ferrari; and I'm still living with my parents...

We do essentially the same job already...
