The Forty Under 40 Hall of Fame is reserved for those who have been honored as a Forty Under 40 recipient three times while still under the age of 40! We've created a special place of honor for those who have made the list three times, a Forty Under 40 Hall of Fame that we publish each year along with our selections. Hall of Fame inductees are not eligible for further nomination. We aren't forgetting them or ignoring them. We're retiring their numbers and acknowledging their obvious accomplishments, while making room to introduce more new faces. Organizations are listed as they were at the time the honorees were selected. Multiple companies are noted when the honorees held different jobs during the Forty Under 40 years.
