17. WILL FERRELL
AGE 40
JOB TITLE Actor/producer
SMART BECAUSE He proved
himself a new-media
pioneer, launching the
trailblazing comedy site
FunnyOrDie with director
Adam McKay and a little
help from a foulmouthed
toddler. Still the king of
tighty-whitie mountain,
Ferrell is so genius at playing
dumb that even a one-joke
wonder like Blades
of Glory skates past the
$100 million mark.
THAT'LL TEACH 'EM In a
2003 Harvard commencement
address, he boasted
''a degree from the school
of hard knocks.''
