imago images/UPI Photo Forbes lists are largely a status symbol for the 1%, but as the business publication has expanded its purview — and as the music business has grown legit billionaires — its lists and criteria have grown.
Pegged to its four-year-old Iconoclast conference is an “Iconoclast 50” list released on Wednesday, and its vague criteria — recognizing “leaders in finance, business, technology, media, entertainment and philanthropy that are changing the game in real time, disrupting their industries and challenging the status quo” — has led to an unusual list: There’s Elon and Zuck and Trump and Buffet on the one hand; Beyonce and Taylor and Bad Bunny and the Weeknd and Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani and the “South Park” duo of Trey Parker and Matt Stone on the other. Some are hundred-billionaires; others have no net worth listed.
