23–26 Points: Steve Ballmer, Microsoft: Microsoft's 30th employee has been steering the ship since 2000 when he took over from Bill Gates. Passionate and, at times, erratic, Ballmer is as known for his wild antics as he is for his leadership. 


27–31 Points:
Larry Ellison, Oracle: The founder and CEO of Oracle is known for his lavish lifestyle and never holding his tongue. 

32–34 Points: Tim Cook, Apple: Steve Jobs's handpicked successor is the polar opposite of the Apple co-founder. Reserved and averse to press, Cook is known for letting his talented team do what they do best and not micromanaging. 

3538 Points: David Karp, Tumblr: Hailed as one of the world's top innovators under 35 by MIT Technology Review, the Internet's Boy Wonder, often known for his laid-back demeanor, has made a name for himself in the social sphere. His ever-growing, microblogging platform is redefining the way we communicate in the 21st century. 

39–40 Points: Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook: Unlike most young CEOs, Mark Zuckerberg wasn't pushed aside to make way for "adult supervision." The 28-year-old Harvard drop-out instilled what he calls "The Hacker Way" into the very fabric of his company. He even made a promise to himself to get his coding skills back to where they were before he became a billionaire. 

41–43 Points: Marrisa Mayer, Yahoo!: Before becoming the CEO of Yahoo!, Mayer worked for its main competitor, Google, where she expected nothing but greatness from those she hired. She's known to let young employees shine by letting them work on important projects. 

44–46 Points: Jack Dorsey, Square: Dorsey has a knack for creating small things that have large impacts. After handing over the reins of Twitter, the NYU grad transformed the personal payment world with a little white square. Though its massive growth, the self-taught programmer maintains a nimble, innovative workforce.

47–50 Points: Larry Page, Google: Much has been written about Google's management system which attempts to limit bureaucracy by flattening the hierarchy. Even more has been written about the way Google treats its employees and its work environment. The Google Way is the product of a man who questions everything and refuses to accept the status quo.
