The 100 top-performing CEOs of the world are 98 per cent male, 97 per cent married and have three children, but only half of them -- or 53 percent -- have hair, according to an anatomy of a CEO infographic compiled by [Harvard Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanoid-robot-uri).

Titled "Anatomy of The World's Top-Performing CEOs," Harvard Business found that Jeff Bezos of [Amazon.com](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chef-lilians-eguisi-kit), Meg Whitman of Hewlett-Packard and the late Steve Jobs are among the best-performing CEOs of all time.

Among the CEOs, 61 percent were college educated outside of the U.S., while 38 percent were college educated inside. The one percent who dropped out of college was, you guessed it, Jobs.

The anatomy of a CEO infographic goes on to highlight that the U.S. accounts for 34 percent of the company locations where these CEOs work, followed by the United Kingdom and Brazil. California is home to the most companies of top-performing CEOs.
