POLL: Which Company Is Most Tied to Its CEO?

 

On Wednesday afternoon, Lazard(LAZ Quote) CEO Bruce Wasserstein passed away.

More than a few reports before his death speculated on what Wasserstein's passing might mean to the firm. And it's far from the first time that the prognosis of a company has seemingly been tied to the prognosis of its leader.

In that somewhat grisly vein, which company -- Oracle(ORCL Quote), DryShips(DRYS Quote), Apple(AAPL Quote), Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B Quote), or News Corp(NWSA Quote) -- do you think is most tied to the health of its singular CEO?

If you have another idea, tell us which one and why in the comments section.


Which company is tied most tightly to the health and well-being of its CEO?

Oracle (Larry Ellison)
DryShips (George Economou)
Apple (Steve Jobs)
Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffett)
News Corp. (Rupert Murdoch)
