BUDGET: $80 million

EMPLOYEES: 860

BORN: Chicago

RESIDES: Harlem

COMMUTER CHALLENGE: To experience what the million-plus visitors do, Barratt has traveled to the garden by every mode of transportation listed on its website. "It's like sleeping in your own guest room."

ACTIVIST, ATHLETE: "I'm probably the only person you know who has swum around Governors Island, the Statue of Liberty and from the 58th Street kayak pier to the George Washington Bridge. Part of my first environmental advocacy was swimming in the Hudson River when everybody thought it was gross."
