His days as President Obama’s Press Secretary came to end, so what’s next for Robert Gibbs? Reports are swirling that Gibbs will be joining the Facebook family as their manager of communications.
That could be a super good look for Gibbs, Facebook isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. With a value estimated at $85 billion, Gibbs jumping on the Mark Zuckerberg ship wouldn’t be a bad thing. Certainly Gibbs held his own as the mouthpiece for the White House, but can he really run Facebook? Or can any other political figure leave their position and jump to running some of our most popular sites?
GlobalGrind imagined what it would be like if some of our most famous political figures ran some of our most popular companies. Check out our list on the next page!

It didn’t hurt that one of the most famous women in the world has publicly worn J. Crew, garnering the company buzz that money can’t buy.
