Age: 55
Title: Owner, Olympique Lyonnais
Pro: Olympique Lyonnais, which was dreadful before Aulas, has won six straight French titles, and is a regular contender in Europe's Champions' League tournament. Last May, Aulas was elected president of the G14 association of Europe's richest and most successful soccer franchises.
Con: His fondness for controversy has earned Aulas remarkable antipathy in France. Even Aulas will struggle to maintain Lyon's success if the team doesn't bag a European title soon.
