: Amazon Revenue: US $ 717bn Founded: 1994

Around US $ 200bn will flow out of Amazon and into capital projects in 2026, most of it data centres and AI for AWS, and Brian Olsavsky is the man who signs it off. Chief Financial Officer since 2015, he is the steady hand behind one of the wildest spending sprees in corporate history. His task is to bankroll the buildout while keeping investors calm and cash flowing, with revenue now past US $ 700bn. Few finance chiefs approve bigger cheques. CREDIT: LINKEDIN financechief. com
