95. Roelof Botha

Partner, Sequoia Capital

Botha is a member of the PayPal mafia, thanks to his critical role as that company's CFO in its startup days. As a venture capitalist, he hardly needs another exit after backing YouTube and selling it to Google. But he scored another one with Meebo, which Google bought last summer. And he was briefly an investor in Instagram, which Facebook agreed to buy shortly after Sequoia invested.

There's more to come: Botha's current portfolio includes Evernote, Eventbrite, and Tumblr, among others.
