NOTES:
To make this a quasi-scientific affair, we asked our readers to nominate and rate a bunch of CEOs on "sexiness," a subjective assessment that encompasses many attributes including style, looks, power, money, leadership, creativity and charm.
Hundreds of readers weighed in (61% of respondents were male and 65% of were 20 to 40 years old).
The final list is a mix of men and women who'd look good running any company.
