Apple CEO Steve Jobs is ranked at on the Vanity Fair 100 Leaders of the Information Age.
Here’s what Vanity Fair has to say about the CEO: “After changing the computer business with his Mac line and the music business with iPod, Jobs has completely upended the mobile business with iPhone. Rivals are scrambling to create products that stack up against Jobs’s mini-computers that also happen to make phone calls. And consumers who used to spend nothing for their cell phones are now willing to drop hundreds on Apple handsets.”
What does it take to earn a spot on Vanity Fair’s annual power list? According to Vanity Fair, it “helps if you run a thriving multi-national—or, for that matter, a menacing national government.” Ahead of Jobs on the list: Vladimir Putin, prime ministor of Russia; Rupert Murdoch, multimedia mogul and billionaire; and Sergey Brin, Larry Page and Eric Schmidt, the “Google guys.”
