HBS upholds its reputation as the Cathedral of Capitalism, with eight Fortune 100 chief executives, more than any other business school. Two of them -- Jeffrey Immelt and Jamie Dimon -- were even classmates at Harvard (class of 1982).

Together, the eight corporate chieftains employ more than one million people and run companies with a total market capitalization of $550 billion, a sum that exceeds the gross domestic product (GDP) of Switzerland.

The alumni are:
