"Several billionaires suffered a bitter professional setback early in their careers that heightened their fear of failure."
Parents Had Math-Related Careers - Accountants, Small-Biz owners
Fall Birthdays - 42 born in September
College Dropouts - Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Micheal Dell
Skull and Bones (Yale Secret society) - Eddie Lampert, Steven Schwarzman, Frederick Smith

woo-hoo! i'm in! :-)
My birthday just so happens to be on Halloween...AND my parents were Actuaries.
Interesting take on things. Wonder what degrees or qualifications any of these big-wigs bagged eventually after all the money had been made. Did they go back to college? I'd probably buy myself a college and obtain a few Honorary degrees myself! Ha!
someday I will be there
Only 600 billionaires out there?
They are becoming extinct each and every day.
Those look like my rocks.
I'm not Jenny from the Block
I don't think anyone even the largest banks can think that diamonds are a good investment now. not even debeers
