business tycoons
Corporate empire builders
Business tycoons are powerful industrialists or entrepreneurs who have amassed great wealth and influence in commerce.
The term carries connotations of both admiration and wariness—tycoons build empires, but often ruthlessly.
Originally from Japanese for "great lord," it entered English describing magnates like Rockefeller and Carnegie.
