There are several important qualities that have helped CEOs get to their distinguishable positions.
As the chief executive officer of Apple Inc., Steve Jobs helped reinvent the way people live their daily lives. (It seems everyone has an iPhone nowadays.) Jobs, who passed away in 2011, loved his work and he encouraged others to also find their passion.
"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle," he famously said.
I'm sure these 20 CEOs below live by Jobs' words — and they also look great doing it, making them the hottest ones out. And it's not just about the way they look — their determination and hard work make them that much more appealing.
