JOHN DOERR ($7.9 BIL)
          For Doerr, impact investing means backing
          “extraordinary” entrepreneurs who can change
          the world at scale. The venture capitalist at
          Kleiner Perkins focuses on five areas of need:
          education, healthcare, energy and climate,
          poverty and leadership, backing everything
          from teachers’ app Remind to fuel-cell com-
          pany Bloom Energy. “For me, the impact is the
          more important return than the financial one,”
          says Doerr, whether it’s lives saved or carbon                                                 MARTIN SCHOELLER/AUGUST
          taken out of the climate. But he still expects to
          make three to five times his investment.
