Hygenie.com lists the Top 10 Dirty Businessmen -- corporate executives whose conduct has, for one reason or another, raised serious questions about their personal hygiene. Here's the list:- Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) CEO Steve Ballmer -- Check out the picture of him sweating: Yuck!
- Russian billionaire Boris Berezovsky -- Face itcher!
- Virgin Group Chairman Richard Branson -- Streaker!
- HDNet Chairman Mark Cuban -- Caught on camera ... picking his nose?
- Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen -- Perhaps he can talk Microsoft into acquiring some Crest Whitestrips?
- MacAndrews and Forbes Chairman Ron Perelman -- Forehead kisser!
- Italian mogul and Formula One figure Flavio Briatore -- Not even gonna touch that one.
- Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) co-founder Steve Wozniak -- Rambo!
- One-time fugitive commodities trader Marc Rich -- Interesting taste in women ...
- Microsoft co-founder and Chairman Bill Gates -- I don't think this one is gross ...
But what about sanitation? Is a smooth, suave, put-together CEO more likely to command respect? Or is a disheveled CEO who doesn't have time to floss more likely to be laser-focused on the business?
My hunch is none of it really matters -- but I'm sure some finance professor somewhere can come up with a study to demonstrate, definitively, that Gold Bond foot powder does improve performance.

I've worked with lots of CEO's and senior officers from a wide variety of Fortune 500 companies and these folks are just nasty.
Nose picking is a given
Passing gas in limos
The smokers phlegm hack - ugh!
The balls scratchers
The non toilet flushers
Chew with the mouth open PLUS the denture slip
I went to one executives house becuase he was ill and we had to get a document out and when i went to the bathroom he had urine stains all around the commode as if aiming was too time consuming.
Harvard MBA = nasty-ass

I can't believe I even looked at this site. What a waste of time and pictures. So much going on in this world and people are posting information on disgusting hygiene...

Thanks for keeping us informed about the important things. (And, by the way, since when is streaking a question of hygiene?)
Yes, this is the quality stuff for which we pay our fee every month.

You can pick your noses.
You can pick your friends.
But you can’t pick your friend’s nose.
The subject matter of this story does not deserve any attention.

This is great! This is fee worthy. Being gross is the ultimate in non-conformity.

A total waste of space. This the most stupid article I have seen on AOL and I have seen several that come close. Do the AOL writers have no talent, intelligence or what. It is getting much worse.

More AOL wasted space. Maybe they should spend less on this and more time on efficiencies. Check the processes in Windows Task Manager and ask yourself why AOL has to gobble up your machine like that. Also, perhaps AOL should identify itself when it pops up a window to "backup files" or to "apply an update". There are enough viruses out there without AOL performing things without even identifying that what's going on is an AOL-initiated task!!!!!

Good News: Surge is working in Iraq. Violence down, so military reducing 3,000 troops today. Why isnt THIS the top news? God Bless President Bush.

All you whiners need to STFU. These assholes have NO CLASS whatsoever. People need to be reminded that accumulating money does not equal success unless your criteria for success is money only. That criteria would make you a classless POS.
