Hi All,
I love self-made billionaires. They are generally people who have beaten the odds and seized a chunk of the American dream. Our top 5 are:
Leona Helmsley, the “Queen of Mean“.
Tim Blixseth, self made real estate trader.
J.G. Boswell, the “King of California Cotton“.
J.R. Simplot, oregon potato magnate.
Chuck Feeney, the billionaire that wasn’t.
All of these people achieved a net worth of over a billion dollars. Whats more they did it largely by providing value rather than taking advantage of fluctuating asset prices. And, most of them are off the radar screen. Most people have heard of Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, but the names on this list haven’t garnered as much attention.
Best,
James
