Jay-Z, Tyler Perry Make Vanity Fair Establishment List

Vanity Fair released it’s 17th annual “New Establishment” list, which the magazine calls “the top 50 of an innovative new breed of buccaneering visionaries, engineering prodigies, and entrepreneurs.”

While Facebook founder Mark Zuckenburg tops the Vanity Fair list for the second year in a row, a couple of black luminaries have made the list amongst the world’s best visionaries, prodigies and entrepreneurs.

This year Jay-Z and Tyler Perry celebrate black excellence by taking the No. 21 and No. 44 place on the list, respectively.

Others on the VF list include Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Mark Wahlberg and Ashton Kutcher.
