Palisadian Brad Grey, chairman and CEO of Paramount Studios, has made Fortune magazine’s list of ‘The 25 People We Envy Most.’ For this year’s Power issue, said Fortune writer Reed Tucker, ‘we eschewed the idea of ranking dealmakers and corporate chieftains in terms of raw power and instead chose a slightly different metric: envy.
