The Business Cards of 7 Famous Entrepreneurs… And 1 That Sucks!

Personal branding is a crucial part of business success for any entrepreneur. While many perfect their online image through LinkedIn and Twitter, few consider the impact of their business cards.

Here are seven famous entrepreneurs whose business cards perfectly reflected their brand—plus one that completely missed the mark.

1. Mark Zuckerberg’s Business Card – "I’m CEO, Bitch!"

If you’ve seen *The Social Network*, you might recall Sean Parker telling Zuckerberg that one day he’d have a card that says “I’m CEO, Bitch.” Well, that wasn’t just a script—it actually happened!

Brian Veloso, the designer behind Mark’s first business card, explained that the phrase embodied Zuckerberg’s assertive, aggressive meeting style. The tagline was originally a joke but ended up sticking!

2. Steve Jobs’ Business Card (Apple) – Clean & Crisp

Steve Jobs built Apple on the philosophy of simplicity, and his business card reflected the same minimalistic design—just clean, straightforward, and professional.

3. Larry Page (Google) – Function Over Style

Google’s homepage is famously simple, and so is Larry Page’s business card. It prioritizes function over style, just like Google’s approach to technology.

4. Evan Williams (Twitter) – A Tweetable Business Card

Twitter is all about brevity, and Evan Williams embraced that in his business card. The entire card contains just 106 characters, making it almost tweetable!

5. Walt Disney’s Business Card – Fun, Fun, Fun!

Walt Disney’s business card was as creative as his brand. Featuring a caricature of himself, it perfectly captured the fun and artistic spirit of Disney.

6. Donald Trump’s Business Card – Mr Ego

Would you expect anything less than a signature on Donald Trump’s business card? A true reflection of his brand and personality.

7. Warren Buffet – "Don’t Call Me, I’ll Call You"

Warren Buffet is so well-known that he doesn’t need a direct contact number. Instead, his chief of staff’s business card humorously reads: “Don’t call me, I’ll call you.”

8. Bill Gates – If Windows Vista Was a Business Card

Unlike the others, Bill Gates’ old business card was cluttered and uninspiring—much like Windows Vista. Though Gates is a tech icon, this design didn’t quite match his legacy.
