The Men - The Women - Continue the search...

In 2001, we conducted a search to locate the "best and the brightest" single people on Wall Street, of all ages, and from all companies connected in any way to the financial community. We defined "Eligible" as any single person, i.e., not married, who is not only successful in his or her job but is also well liked and well respected by his or her peers, and who has something interesting, unique and/or unusual in his or her life. (See below for full list)

Feel free to continue nominating as we will be updating the list periodically. Votes were casted from all over the country, thousands have come in and these are the 50 Most Eligible to date...
