"   Photo: Getty Images  A recent study performed by two economists at the University of Wisconsin finds a direct correlation between the beauty of a company&amp;#039;s CEO and said company&amp;#039;s shareholder value, CNBC reports.

The report, titled Beauty is wealth: CEO appearance and shareholder value, sampled 677 CEOs from S&amp;amp;amp;P 500 companies and ranked them based on something called &amp;quot;facial geometry.&amp;quot; Sounds freaky. The data proved that companies that hired good-looking CEOs saw a spike in stock returns close to the execs&amp;#039; dates of hire.

All of these things are more available when you&amp;#039;re more &amp;quot;facially geometric.&amp;quot; Attractive people give off a sense of capability and likeability, which in turn, apparently provides stockholders with a feeling that everything is okay. So it came as no surprise, that when we perused Forbes&amp;#039; list of highest paid CEOs, we found some pretty good-looking people. Here&amp;#039;s looking at you, Jeff Bewkes, CEO of Time Warner. You&amp;#039;re adorable. Wink. Oh, and Brady Dougan? You&amp;#039;ve got a fan in this office. (And of course there&amp;#039;s Angela Ahrendts of former CEO of Burberry and Marissa Mayer, CEO of Yahoo!.) It does make one wonder if it works both ways. It may be proven that, to the outside, a beautiful CEO gives shareholders more confidence, but what does it do for those internally? How hard would you work for Brad Pitt? If coming into work every day meant reporting to Ryan Gosling, do you think you&amp;#039;d perform better? Would you work later hours for Jessica Biel? Or would you cower in fear, become super self-conscious, and spend more time contemplating your outfit than taking notes at your weekly staff meetings? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
