In a survey by Junior Achievement USA, 1,000 teenagers age 12 to 17 chose Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs as their most admired Entrepreneur.
Perhaps surprisingly, Jobs beat out contenders with typically more star power among teens, including Oprah and skateboard wizard and video game entrepreneur Tony Hawk.
Further down the survey were Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, owners of their own clothing line.
According to Junior Achievement USA President Jack Kosakowski, "We live in a celebrity-obsessed culture, so it's no surprise that teens admire famous entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs and Oprah Winfrey, who have built brands around their personas as well as around their products."
