Magnates are the seventh Cog on the Boardbot Corporate Ladder. They are Tier 7 Cogs ranging from levels 7-15. Magnates are eagle-eyed predators with a taste for organizational opulence. Like other tier 7 Cogs, Magnates cannot be found on Streets normally. However, they can be found specifically on Twilight Terrace in Drowsy Dreamland with a lowered spawn rate. They also have a very rare chance to spawn in other departments' Cog Headquarters.
Magnates are able to spawn naturally on Twilight Terrace with a lowered chance. The following is an estimation of their spawn chance.

The following is a list of Magnate's chance to spawn in Boardbot Cog Buildings. Note: Boss Chance refers to the Cog's chance to spawn as the Building's boss. The "Tier" determines the amount and level range of Cogs spawned inside the building (i.e. a building labeled tier II will have a level range one level higher than its tier I counterpart).

Trivia
A magnate is a wealthy and influential person in the world of business.
The Magnate's new design was the sixth Boardbot Cog revealed as part of The Director's Cuts ARG.
The Magnate is the first Cog to have its position changed on the corporate ladder, being promoted from a Tier 6 Cog to a Tier 7 Cog.
The Magnate's design is loosely based off of real life Magpies, hence the pun of "Mag" in its name.
Magnates have a speaker inside of their beaks.
One of the Magnate's dislikes, the Ostrich Effect, is a phrase for people who tend to avoid information by ignoring it.
