I have an old friend (though we haven't talked in about a decade) who was on the list back in 2018 under the marketing and advertising category. From what I see him posting on LinkedIn, 90%+ of his posts are generic empty platitudes about how to be successful, the same sort that you would see from a lot of people that seem to be famous for being rich or famous for being famous. As far as I can tell his company is legit, but most of the people who end up on that list seem to fit a certain "slick salesman" persona regardless of the actual merits of their company, so it's not surprising that a good number of scammers make it on as well.
