Abigail Johnson

One of the wealthiest people in Massachusetts landed a new job this year. Instead of overseeing Fidelity's mutual fund operations, where she largely spared her firm from scandals, Johnson, 43, is heading the unit that manages retirement benefits. The move was seen as a way to groom her further for succession to the top slot of the Boston investment giant. Johnson looks likely to succeed her father, Edward C. Johnson III.
