Fortune magazine released its annual list of the 40 hottest young stars in business on Thursday, and the brightest Internet entrepreneurs led the pack, with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg crowned the king.

Fortune culled its crop from the world's innovators, disrupters and job creators, the mag said.

There were more than tech execs: bigwigs in movies, music and even curry-flavored chocolate also made the list. Take a look at the top five:
