The most prolific buisness(WO)man
September 22, 2020 at 12:45 am
Hi everybody ! I have an useless question but interesting.
Who there know the existence of someone who was the CEO , Chairman , Member of a board of directors and others positions of many companies at once ?
I'd like to know who is the person who get the world record (In my knowledge this record isn't yet in the Guiness World Records) as the person who held many positions at once.
Even positions that are purely ceremonial are taken into account in my question.
If I'm right there are someone who held 40 positions at once or a bit less or a bit more but I don't remember who.

Going just by the parameters you mention, Donald Trump is probably at or near the top spot. He owns (defined as 'has a controlling interest in') about 500 different business ventures. How much actually work he does at these companies is highly suspect, but ownership confers its own title, usually something like 'owner' or 'principal stockholder'.

All the women I have known could only hold one position at a time.
But there were several wayyyy more flexible than me - and could do a bunch........

Probably Jared Kushner, because he's an expert in everything.
But seriously, 40? It seemed to me being a chairman of the board has it's limits, like you can't be thrice for Apple, IBM and Microsoft. Or for Tesla, Ford...
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
