While a lot of wealthy may think in terms of they would rather play than work, that's not the case for those on the list of Forbes 10 Wealthiest CEOs in the world, and every one of them would probably have it no other way.
Some of those listed didn't even start the companies they now run, while others of course were the founders, and still run them to this day.
You can tell these men were made for the job, as every one of them could have stopped working years ago and did whatever they wanted with their lives. Longevity is part of their success and wealth.
Some on the list don't have the CEO included, because they don't take the title at the company, although they work in that capacity.
