Apparently, Steve Jobs' exploits in Silicon Valley isn't going unnoticed by the larger business world. Noted by a financial magazine as one of the world's top 30 corporate executives, he is cited for his 'fascinating' nature.

Barron's Report has released its yearly list of influential executives. They had this to say of Apple's main figurehead: "Steve Jobs is more than the CEO of two hugely influential companies: he's an outright legend. No single person in Silicon Valley more fascinates the investing public. No tech CEO alive is more closely scrutinised."

His term as Apple's CEO has been converted into the stuff of legend. Restoring the former prestige of the company, and launching an all-out warfare agains other tech companies to end in the companies stock price soaring beyond anyone's expecations, Jobs has time and again proven the skeptical public wrong.

Now that Jobs is also assuming a greater role in Disney as one of its top shareholders, more is expected from the man in lazy blue jeans and a jet-black turtleneck.
