Age: 38
Industry: Hollywood
Kevin Feige has his dream job. As Marvel's studio head, he plans, casts, and produces big-budget movies based on the superheroes he loved reading about as a kid. "I'm certainly pleased I've been able to fulfill a promise to my 8-year-old self," he says. He's the mind behind the Iron Man franchise, as well as this summer's Thor and Captain America, which both banked nearly $70 million on opening weekend. Next up: The Avengers.
Right place, right time: While a film student at the University of Southern California, Feige wandered up to the second floor of the George Lucas building and saw an internship posting. "That was the last résumé I ever filled out," he says.
