Who is the most famous entrepreneur?

That has to be Bill Gates.

And of those, only one man has directed a company to publicly traded worth of about half a trillion dollars - when compared to nations, his company boasts the ninth largest economy in the world. At 44, he may be the richest man in history, worth approximately $77 billion. He's also created more millionaires than anyone in the history of business, both directly through stock options ($10,000 invested in his company's IPO is worth $4.8 million today, the most successful stock of the century) and indirectly by making computers part of daily life.

When it came time for us to pick the "Entrepreneur of the Millennium," no one else even came close to William Henry Gates III, founder, chairman and CEO of Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft Corp. -----quote---------- According to wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates ----quote------------ Recognition Time magazine named Gates one of the 100 people who most influenced the 20th century, as well as one of the 100 most influential people of 2004, 2005, and 2006. Time also collectively named Gates, his wife Melinda and rock band U2's lead singer Bono as the 2005 Persons of the Year for their humanitarian efforts.In 2006, he was voted eighth in the list of "Heroes of our time".

Gates was listed in the Sunday Times power list in 1999, named CEO of the year by Chief Executive Officers magazine in 1994, ranked number one in the "Top 50 Cyber Elite" by Time in 1998, ranked number two in the Upside Elite 100 in 1999 and was included in The Guardian as one of the "Top 100 influential people in media" in 2001. ----quote----------- He is very popular all over the world and known by most people as one of the greatest entrepreneurs of all time.

Ray Kroc, McDonald At the age of 52, Ray Kroc pitched the idea of opening several quick-service restaurants to brothers Dick and Mac McDonald, owners of the McDonald's hamburger stand in San Bernardino, California. With their approval, Kroc opened the first restaurant/franchise in Des Plaines, Illinois, in 1955. Now the global food-service retailer has about 30,000 restaurants in more than 100 countries.

According to me, Bill Gates is the most famous entrepreneur. He is known all over the world. The next would be Steve Jobs, but he is not known to many people like Bill Gates.

My most famous entrepreneur would be John Davison Rockefeller ----quote---- John Davison Rockefeller (July 8, 1839 – May 23, 1937) was an American industrialist. Rockefeller revolutionized the petroleum industry and defined the structure of modern philanthropy.In 1870, he founded the Standard Oil Company and aggressively ran it until he officially retired in 1897.1 Standard Oil began as an Ohio partnership formed by John D.

The famous entrepreneurs of today are made up of a successful stories that are valued and time tested to give the perfect results. Any person can become successful in life provided he is determined to get things done and has a belief to attain life’s goals. One of my famous entrepreneurs is "Steve Woznaik" , The Apple computers.

Everybody wants to use Apple computer because of its key features and I keenly take pride in using one. Although, I have one basic model now but planning to buy a good Mac book Pro sooner. S is truly a success story; he was very passionate about bringing computers to everyone’s lives.It was in the year 1977 that he started to build personal computer.

Their first company and office began in a garage, they sold off their Volkswagen and calculator to raise $1,300 for their venture. Within six months of time, their company was amongst the Fortune 500.

He made faster transportation affordable for the average man and look what happened to the auto industry after him...Chevy, Plymouth, you get the picture. Or how about Bill Gates? Of course Donald Trump|Trump is a famous entrepreneur but he doesn't hold a candle to either of the above two in my humble opinion.

The most famous entrepreneur on the planet, though he's not always recognized as such, is Jay Z. Right from the start he showed his entrepreneurial spirit by setting up his own label "Roc-A-Fella Records" when he couldn't get a recording contract from any of the major labels. From these humble beginnings he has built up an impressive business empire, from owing The 40/40 Club and New Jersey Mets to having his own clothing line Roc-A-Wear.

He also provides direction on branding for such companies like Budweiser. While not the richest entrepreneur, he's surely the most famous.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
