Mogul

Yeah, yeah...not the ski kind. That bump thing that comes out of nowhere hoping to trip you up, so that you Homer Simpson 500 yards down the hill. Nope. And D'ohpe.

In fact, a mogul is a baller, a power player, a queen-of-the-hill. We have them in media: John Malone, Rupert Murdoch, Sumner Redstone; we have them in tech: Zuck, Sergey/Larry, Bezos. Moguls move markets and mountains. They're the ones invited to the Allen & Co. mogul retreats in Sun Valley each year. They're the wealthy, the hard-to-get-to, the visionaries who built an industry.

You want to be one. It's a nice life.
