Despite the clean-shaven look that dominates the corporate world and its accompanying business casual attire, Benzinga was able to find several high-profile business executives that sport scraggly, manly facial hair.
Here are 13 of the coolest beards in business we could find:

The Def Jam Records co-founder (with Russell Simmons) holds an iconic spot in hip hop and rock ‘n' roll history. Good thing his Hagrid-style beard does it justice. (Photo: Wikimedia Commons).
2. Larry EllisonThe
Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) co-founder founder and CEO is notorious for his well-kept beard, which is nicely complemented by a mustache and soul patch.
3. James SimonsAccording to
Forbes, Simons was the 2nd highest grossing hedge fund manager in the business, earning his firm, Renaissance Technologies, a cool $2.1 billion in 2012 alone. His white and full beard earns him the #3 spot on our list.
4. Gary ParrParr is a hedge fund manager, the Deputy Chairman of Lazard Frères since 2003. His white, slightly bushy beard puts him at #4 on our list. (Photo: YouTube).
