Internet Stars Dominate Fortune’s 40 Under 40 List

For­tune maga­zine has publis­hed its list of 40 of business’s ‘hot­test rising stars’ under the age of 40. The full list is pretty diverse, but one thing sticks out like a sore thumb: Inter­net stars are lea­ding the pack more than ever.

In the top 10, no less than seven are mana­gers of some of the hot­test Inter­net com­pa­nies, if you dis­count the fact that some people share a ran­king. And if you do take that into account, 8 out of the first 15 people on the list are Inter­net entrepreneurs.

Top­ping the list are, of course, Google’s co-​founders Larry Page and Ser­gey Brin(sharing rank 1), fol­lo­wed by Face­book foun­der and CEO Mark Zucker­berg. Twit­ter co-​founders Biz Stone and Evan Wil­liams share rank 5, and then we find Hulu’s Jason KilarMarc And­rees­sen and AOL’s Tim Arm­strong.
