10 Most Brilliant Businessmen in Movie History

Someone sent a link to this point, so I'd figured I'd give it a whirl and talk about some of the people on the list.

Gordon Gekko: With a name like Gekko, you have to be a badass. Mr. Gekko represents the cooperate greed that’s gotten the world in the financial trouble that we’re in today. Michael Douglas has played this role numerous times over the years, just under different names. If you want to cast a ruthless businessman, Douglas is your guy.

Sam "Ace" Rothstein: Yeah, he’s that guy from the underrated Casino. My only problem with this character is he gets too caught up in Sharon Stone’s character. He would have probably been better off ditching her in the long run.

Michael Corleone: While there are some good points to be made in for Godfather I & II, he stronger business senses shine in the otherwise dreadful Godfather III.

Charles Foster Kane: I recently watched Citizen Kane and I just loved the movie. It is based on William Randolph Hearst, but you can replace it with any real life media mogul. (Ted Turner). What is interesting is that Kane’s life pretty much follows the director’s life and career as well. It is very interesting when watching it today with the parallels between Orson Welles and Kane.
