Captains of Industry Above the Age of 80

Fortune put together an interesting list of corporate titans who have refused to be sidelined due to their ages. It’s an interesting list of eight people over the age of 80, who are still involved in their companies. They may not all still be “officially” involved with positions in their companies, but some of them still visit the halls of power, and they can certainly be seen in the media. Many of them are still making deals. Here is the list:

1. David Murdock, 86, Dole Food
2. John Bogle, 80, Vanguard Group
3. T. Boone Pickens, 81, BP Capital
4. O. Bruton Smith, 82, Sonic Automotive and Speedway Motorsports
5. Alfred Mann, 83, MannKind
6. Sumner Redstone, 86, Viacom, CBS, National Amusements
7. Kirk Kerkorian, 92, Tracinda Corp.
8. Walter Zable, 94, Cubic Corp.

Most of these men, as you might imagine, take care of their bodies and minds in much the same way that they take care of their companies. It illustrates a good point: Take care of yourself, and your business, and you will be taken care of in turn.
