Paulson. IB And Treasury Secretary? This seems like a twofer.

Second? Dick Fuld.

Probably Mark Cuban or Larry Ellison.

I've met Mark, but Larry Ellison is suppose to be extremely eccentric. But I think it'd be more fun to think who you'd want to play a round of golf with. That'd be Mark Cuban, Larry Ellison and Jason Witten.

EDIT: Just realize it specifically mentioned banking. But I still stand by my choices. Except I'd choose Marc Andreessen

At a wider menu, I would pick John A. Paulson, or Steven A. Cohen. I'm very curious about some of Paulson's specific points of view. But, I would study Cohen's life in a much more interested way. I also respect that guy from Farallon Capital, but I just forgot his name (I'm very much like him in a lot of aspects)

And I don't actually like Mark Cuban, because that guy gets on my nerves. I also think he is more or less outdated in a lot of aspects (and I would not discuss about that).
