Apple’s Steve Jobs was named the world’s most valuable CEO in a recent list by Barron’s. In November 2009, Jobs was named CEO of the decade by Fortune. Over the last 10 years Jobs has been behind some of the most innovative products in tech, including the iPod, iPhone and the iPad.

“Probably the world’s most valuable CEO is Steve Jobs of Apple, as shown by stock dips on news of his medical problems,” the report said. “Apple recently hit a record, with a market value topping $200 billion, a reflection of the Street’s confidence that a healthy Jobs (at least from what we can tell) continues to keep Apple ahead of the game. Jobs likely accounts for $25 billion or more of Apple’s market value.”
