I don't see how the Editor of AVN makes the top ten either...what kind of power does he have? Naming who gets nominated for an AVN award and what movies get Editor's Choice spots in the magazine...

Granted, that position had A LOT of power prior to the Internet, since AVN could basically make or break performers or studios, but with SO MANY good adult reviewers out there and so many sites where people can go to find out about new performers and studios (including this one), AVN magazine is more of an industry staple than something that has any real power over the industry.

I do think Flynt should be number one. I don't think the President of Pleasure/IVD should be that high up on the list...there seem to be some other studios/distributors with far more power than Pleasure/IVD - at least currently.

As for some of the foreign studio names...not too familar with those guys, so some of the industry people that comment here will be able to better state what kind of power those guys have.
