Jerry Yang

Co-founder of Yahoo!

Why didn't he take the money? Yahoo chieftain saw his stock languish for years, then pop 45% after Microsoft tried to snatch company up for $44.6 billion to take on Google in search. Balked at hostile takeover attempt; shareholder activist Carl Icahn led proxy battle to replace board, oust Yang as chief executive. Settled weeks later; Icahn and 2 friends now on expanded board. Stock down 39% since original Microsoft offer. Met partner David Filo in grad school at Stanford, turned Internet directory project into Web portal Yahoo. Left Ph.D. track 1995, took public a year later. Brought in "professionals": Tim Koogle in 1995, former Warner Bros. boss Terry Semel 2001. Agreed to ad partnership with Google in June following Microsoft debacle; Yahoo will post Google ads alongside Yahoo's search results.
