Over-Exposed Billionaires

Richard Branson
Donald Trump
Mark Cuban

Founder of Broadcast.com and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has survived a recent run-in with the SEC, but that hasn't kept him from his oft-controversial blogging efforts.
Warren Buffett

The second-richest man in America and chief of investment titan Berkshire Hathaway doesn't just move markets with his advice: he also has his own online cartoon series, "The Secret Millionaires Club", which teaches kids how to invest their money wisely.
Rupert Murdoch

Often the target of parody on TV's "The Simpsons", Fox mogul Rupert Murdoch has acquired a vast media empire, with properties spanning across film, TV, print and the Internet.
Eli Broad

Once rumored to be interested in buying the Los Angeles Times, philanthropist Eli Broad has his name all over Los Angeles with donations to schools, medical research and art collections.
Carl Icahn

Activist investor and financier Carl Icahn is best known for his very vocal roles in management fights over firms like Time Warner and Yahoo.
Jerry Jones

As longtime owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones is used to the ups and downs of pro sports, but that hasn't stopped him from investing in a new $1.2 billion stadium with a capacity of 110,000, including a standing-room only section and nearly 3,000 TVs.

I’ts laughable how you don’t include George Soros. Your strings are showing.

Branson does good things for the world.
Rich Rodriguez

I have to disagree with the idea that Warren Buffett, Eli Broad and Jerry Jones are billionaires with overexposed egos. Unlike Mark Cuban, Rupert Murdoch or Donald Trump, these men have not been known for outrageous personalities, run-ins with the feds, or shameless self-worship and promotion. Rather, their name recognition comes from the success in their respective fields, good citizenship and philanthropy. Those admirable qualities, which the other billionaires on your list lack, naturally attract a lot of media attention, as well as a lot of ridicule and criticism because nobody believes such people are for real these days.

Too much Richard Branson? I don’t think so. The guy is cool. Too much Trump? Now that I can see.

I’m tired of seeing this mans ugly azz face everyday. Take Richard Branson’s face off please.

Overexposed? And whose fault is that? Do we clamor for stories about Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton’s drinking problems and such?

They’re overexposed because the media, in this era of tough competition, constantly goes after the low-hanging fruit over substantive reporting.

who is this guy
Not your girl

He just looks like Chris Martin, Ph.D.. I lost my only real daddy, Dr. Pentony, While being expelles from university and was not notified of his passing so I stole his name tag of office his door. The Mexicans let me in and gave me his only memory. I’d like do following in his foot steps under social psychology.

In all honesty,

You are right about be I scam everybody.
