Perhpas not in the tech industry. Bill Gates is pretty legendary in his own rights. I remember when growing up, he was the man you wanted to be. Richard Branson, Donald Trump, Phill Knight, Michael Bloomberg, and I'm sure plenty of other CEOs have a pretty good "personality cult" Perhaps not as cultish as Steve Jobs, but still very legendary and an important face to their company and industry nonetheless.

Walt Disney, too.

Absolutely, Warren Buffett as well. We could go way back too, what about Rockefeller, Carnegie, William Randolph Hearst, J.P. Morgan, the Vanderbilts et al.

Jack Welch is pretty much the most famous example of this.
