Success on Wall Street means watching your ideas and work in action while making a sizable amount of money in the process.
That in and of itself is impressive, but there are some people on Wall Street that take that to the next level — they make the Street look sexy.
From bank CEOs to hedge funders and beyond, we found the 32 sexiest people in finance.
With a combination of success, power, generosity, good looks, fashion sense, and personality, these people are the full package.
#32 David Tepper
Age: 55
Firm: President and Founder, Appaloosa Management
Education: BA, University of Pittsburgh; MBA, Carnegie Mellon University
Tepper, who runs a $12 billion distressed-debt hedge fund, has one of the best long-term track records. In 2012, he was up 30%, while a lot other funds struggled to find alpha. He was also the best paid hedge fund manager last year.
He has made headlines this year by coming out as massively bullish on U.S. equities.
Aside from his investing acumen, Tepper has an incredible sense of humor. The former high school musical star even broke out in song on live TV.
#31 Brady Dougan
Age: 53
Firm: CEO, Credit Suisse Group
Education: BA, MBA, University of Chicago
Dougan has been making comments this year that banker pay is outpacing shareholder returns. He told Bloomberg TV, "That’s not sustainable. That’s not right."
Dougan got a 34% raise in 2012, taking home $8.2 million. In 2011 he took a 69% pay cut, taking home $3.3 million. The bank's board pointed out in its annual report that year that he was "taking real and direct accountability" for the bank's lackluster earnings and share performance.
Outside of the office, he's a marathoner with a passion for long distance running. We hear that he's also frequently spotted lifting weights in the morning at the bank.
#30 Mary Callahan Erdoes
Age: 46
Firm: CEO, JPMorgan Asset Management
Education: BA, Georgetown University; MBA, Harvard University
Erdoes, whose $2 trillion unit acts independently, bet against the "London Whale" trade that lost JPMorgan's CIO office billions, according to DealBook.
She also got a compensation package larger than JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon.
