32. Stuart Wilkins

If you knew nothing of BWD Insurance but read their client list you would assume they were based in either Manhattan or London. Condé Nast, The New York Times, the NBA and NHL are among the impressive roster of clients who depend upon BWD’s expertise. At the helm of the company is the sociable and philanthropic Wilkins, who has more friends in high places than most of the people on this list. Box seats for the big game? Reservation at Rao’s? Invitation to play Pebble Beach? Wilkins probably has a connection to everything on your bucket list and then some.
