Jonathan Gray, senior managing director at buyout house Blackstone, is the highest placed financier in Fortune magazine’s "40 under 40" ranking of the youngest rising stars in US business. Financial News looks at who else from the world of finance made the list alongside celebrities such as golfer Tiger Woods and rapper and music mogul Jay-Z.

The magazine ran a similar version of the list from 1999 to 2004 which was based purely on net worth but the latest is a measure of power, reputation and influence. The magazine said those on the list, headed by Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, are "game changers and industry disrupters".
