Who would have thought that Lee Iacocca would sit at his bells and whistles lap tap and blog? And why does Jack Welch not have one?

Is it real, or is it their personal secretary? Or perhaps they have become philanthropic in their old age. Who can really know. But, nevertheless, I’m enjoying getting into the minds of some of the most financially successful people in the world today.

Here’s the ones I’ve found so far. Anyone out there want to add to the CEO blogroll?

Lee Iacocca

Donald Trump

Bob Parsons, founder of GoDaddy

Zappos CEO and COO Blog

Dave Kellogg does the Mark Logic CEO Blog

Debbie Weil is a famous CEO blog writing advisor, with her own blog, BlogWrite for CEOs. Check out this witty blog written for CEOs to read.

One of the most intriguing and colorful CEOs ever, Jack Welch, does not have a blog, but he has written a book in the blogging style, Debbie Weil says, and he is also the subject of countless blogs, including Business Week’s recent post entitled Jack Welch on Jeff Immelt, outlining what is turning out to be a soapratic story of a retired CEO invading his old turf once too many times. The Bing Blog by Stanley Bing at Fortune Magazine gives another side to this story in Jack Welch: His Final Transformation Isn’t Pretty.
