    Also doesn't mean you don't.

    Greed is deplorable and is the root of most problems. It is also not exclusive to wealthy people.

    AKA PayPal mafia ...several got very wealthy over building a program that takes the credit card, one step further. Nice to be capitalized like that!

    He should be on this list simply for the percentage of his DNA extant in the global population. Diverting a river to remove any trace of someone who pissed you off also deserves consideration.

    A Tardis that was capable of making a truly good cup of coffee would be humanity's crowning achievement.

    Yes, Thank you.
    SDiver my good friend for 20 years, Most Successful person I have ever known.....Honest/Generous/Kind/Good-soul.

    Unfortunately, my opinions are skewed due to the experiences I faced had happen to me.

    "Train your people/workers well enough they can leave and get another job......Treat them well enough, they do not want to leave"
    ~Unknown successful business man~

    At University, we watched a movie about a textile plant that supported the whole town, burnt to the ground. Owner got Millions $ from insurance company. He was ready to retire/sell....he had a HUGE insurance payment......he rebuilt the factory for the workers :)
    There are good business people out there....again, I am heavily skewed due to the bottom-feeders (non-successful biz people) wrecking me out.

    Thank you.

    All I can say is I wouldn’t mind working inside the COVID-19 bubble with the gal that served me my coffee this morning at Caribou... ;)

    In order to answer this question, we must first define what is most incredible mean? From what I’ve seen in this thread thus far, is business savvy. A couple of pages in before we see a morally grounded individual; Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi?
    Can we dig a little deeper? :Poke:

    The founders of anything modern you think about read about see or touch, the people anyone listed above was trying to emulate or learned from were actually these 4-

    Nikola Tesla
    Carl Jung
    Max Planck
    Rumi


    nobody else I could think of

    lol, Isaac Newton simply spat what others before him had found, but because British influence was so strong only he got recognized. There’s as much racism and sexism in science and math especially in those times as there was at your local KKK meet up. Same goes for Einstein. Muddled jargon half stolen from Tesla and other scientists, just as bad as Edison. Don’t even get me started on that douchebag. So no, no offense, that’s an amateur list. Half those people were cunts.
