  • Great share.

    My kind of stories. My favorite kind of billionaires are those that you don’t hear much about. They’re quietly creating massive wealth and running the world.

  • Thank you Peter for sharing this article, inspiring!!

  • I knew of a handful of these billionaires and some of their stories. It was informative and inspiring to hear of the others.

    Thanks, Peter. A great 2014 to you and all readers!
