1. Bess Levin
Bess Levin, Dealbreaker --
It doesn't get better than Levin's Dealbreaker for juicy, irreverent musings on the crap that goes down inside Wall Street banks. She's known to break embarrassing gossip about execs, much of which comes from tipsters within the banking community.

3. David Patrick Columbia
David Patrick Columbia, New York Social Diary --
NYSD primarily chronicles the often stuffy, uptown New York benefits attended by the Gossip Girl crowd. Posed photos of moguls in black tie abound.

4. Hedge Fund Blogger
Richard WIlson, Hedge Fund Blogger --
Sure, his niche is pretty small -- but Wilson offers up news on hedge funders in language normal humans can understand. And they said it couldn't be done.

5. Luxuo
Luxuo -- Although written under the veil of anonymity, this luxury lifestyle blog covers the toys and tools of the mogul set better than anyone. Sure, some billionaire penchants might make you roll your eyes, but isn't that what mogul gawking is all about?

6. Meg Marco
Meg Marco and The Consumerist team --
While geared more toward customers than owners, The Consumerist is the go-to place for news on, yes, consumer goods -- and the moguls who dominate that market.

7. Michael Arrington
Michael Arrington, TechCrunch --
A vet of the tech blogging scene, the founder of immensely popular TechCrunch has had a pulse on startup success stories and Silicon Valley giants alike for years. Arrington also operates CrunchBase, which chronicles the funding and spending of pretty much every tech company and venture capitalist. Arrington is something of a mini-mogul himself.

8. Nikki Finke
Nikki Finke, Deadline Hollywood --
Love her or hate her, Finke's Deadline Hollywood is undoubtedly the best place to get news on "the industry." The harsh Hollywood biz reporter is getting a TV show made about her. She's the Kelly Cutrone of Hollywood reporters.

9. The Analyst
"The Analyst" aka Jeffrey Rothstein, Stone Street Advisors --
He's one of the most recognizable figures among Twitter's finance set… while keeping a very low profile (see blocked out eyes, above). His blog, among several at Stone Street Advisors, is opinionated, wonky and, at times, hilarious . A must-read.

10. Barry Ritholtz
Barry Ritholtz, The Big Picture --
Industry mainstay Ritholtz pulls no punches in his coverage of hedge funders and Wall Street execs -- what else could you expect from someone who just released a book called "Bailout Nation"?
