Another busy year for the chairman and president of George Weston Ltd., one of North America's largest bakers. Aside from tending to his controlling stake in Loblaw's, Canada's largest supermarket chain, Weston also minds upscale retailers Holt Renfrew and Brown Thomas. Last year acquired London-based department store Selfridges for $958 million through his Whittington Investments. Strong outlook for 2004: as a manufacturer of Atkins products in North America, Weston looks to cash in on low-carb craze but Interbake Foods' division manufactures calories old-fashioned way for Girl Scout cookies. An avid collector of avant-garde artist Christo, Weston regularly host exhibitions showcasing the work of influential artists at a gallery founded by his daughter, Alannah, at Windsor, his private community in Vero Beach, Fla.
