Martin Eberhard
CEO, Tesla Motors
Age: 47
Eberhard's high-tech, battery-powered electric car is less about bland eco-consciousness than about sex and speed. The Tesla Roadster does zero-to-60 in a whiplash-inducing four seconds and goes more than 200 miles on a single charge. And oh, yes, it's also helping to save the earth. No surprise that the likes of Larry Page and Arnold Schwarzenegger have lined up to buy the six-figure supercar.
