This is interesting and I'm trying to think of others. You're on to something. Zuckerberg comes to mind. Jack Dorsey, maybe. Warren Buffett - consumer business.

I think the Shark Tank cast are probably pretty well-known by now, at least as much as Bezos. Though I don't know if they're known for their companies, so maybe it doesn't make sense to include them. In fact, Daymond John is the only whose business _I_ know, and that one was a consumer business. They're all much smaller time, ofc, than the other names mentioned. Cuban makes me think a bunch of sports CEOs are probably well known. Vince McMahon.
Jack Welch, Lee Iacocca, and Ray Kroc I think were big deals, back when.
Probably there's no value in the CEO of a non-consumer company having celebrity. Nobody's deciding between PWC and E&Y based on a TV appearance by the CEO, so the CEO won't spend time on that.
