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!
