17. Jeff Bezos 

How are things going for the Amazon.com CEO and founder Jeff Bezos as of November 2015? Perhaps thisCNBC headline can serve as an answer to that question: “Why Amazon’s Jeff Bezos is getting richer.” It has not been all sunshine and rainbows for Forbes in 2015. The NY Times published an article that had less-than-pleasant words about the working conditions at Amazon. That piece has since received criticism on multiple occasions. One thing seems clear: Online shoppers and those who want to use the Amazon Prime service were not persuaded to abandon the company. One has to imagine Amazon will be in for another successful holiday season.
