the gordon
Gordon Moore (San Francisco, 1929) is known as the founding father of Silicon Valley. Moore is an American entrepreneur and co-founder of computer giant Intel. At age 86 he has taken a well-earned retirement, although he could have stopped working long ago. Forbes estimates his worth at six million euros. He is most famous for formulating ‘Moore’s Law’. In 1965 Moore predicted that the number of components on computer chips would double every year. The number would reach about 65,000 by 1975. Now, 50 years later, his prediction still holds up.
the sara
Fail, fail again, fail better. The American Sara Blakely (Florida, 1971) often failed to realize her plans. Until, that is, she hit on her million-dollar idea. She worked for a year at Disney World clipping tickets and sold fax machines as a door-to-door salesperson. In the evenings she worked comedy clubs as a stand-up comedian. Nothing was really working for her until, at age 29, she decided to invest all her savings ($5,000) in the development of body-shaping underwear: Spanx. Six months later, Oprah Winfrey mentioned Spanx in one of her famous Favourite Things episodes. In 2012, at age 41, Blakely became the youngest self-made billionaire in the world.
the russell

the david
In 1994, David Filo (Wisconsin, 1966) started a website together with Jerry Yang called Jerry and David’s Guide to the World Wide Web. That probably doesn’t mean much to most people, but the name they chose to continue under a year later, is more familiar: Yahoo! The website began as a ‘web directory’ pointing to other websites and has grown to become one of the biggest internet brands. This has made Filo the 854th richest man in the world, with an estimated worth of 2.8 billion dollars.
the william
Best known as the Black Eyed Peas’ “Will.i.Am,” Adams (Los Angeles, 1975) became a solo artist, record producer and actor — followed by Intel Corp creative innovation director, car company IAMAUTO founder, and the first artist to stream music from Mars. He founded i.am+ in 2016, creating technology hits that ripple across pop culture.
the woz
Steve Wozniak (San Jose, 1950) met Steve Jobs at high school in Sunnyvale. They were both interested in technology, kept in contact after they graduated and found work at different computer companies in Silicon Valley. In 1977 they started Apple together. Wozniak – Woz to his friends – was the technician of the company. In 1983 he left the company and worked various jobs including as a high school teacher. Nevertheless, he remained a major shareholder. Partly for that reason, he now has a net worth of 100 million dollars.
the mary-kate
She is one of a small number of child stars who have managed to maintain their success: Mary-Kate Olsen (Los Angeles, 1986) and her twin sister Ashley made their acting debut in the sitcom Full House when they were nine years old. Three years later they made an estimated turnover of one billion dollars from Olsen Twin products. Now the twins head up multiple flourishing businesses including Dualstar, an entertainment company, and several clothing lines. Mary-Kate still acts occasionally too. She doesn’t have to do it for the money, though. Together, the Olsen twins are estimated to be worth 300 million dollars.
the ingvar
The Swede Ingvar Kamprad (Agunnaryd, 1926), founder of IKEA, was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug at a very early age. At age five he was already buying boxes of matches and selling individual matches on to his friends for a tidy profit. He continued to expand his business enterprises and in 1956 he made a quantum leap when he decided it would be easier to sell furniture in disassembled state. This enabled IKEA to store and transport more furniture and to sell it cheaper. IKEA now has an annual turnover of some 10 billion euros and has outlets in almost 40 countries. Kamprad is severely dyslectic and has a penchant for linguistic shortcuts. So, the company’s name is an acronym consisting of his initials, his place of birth and the name of the farm where he grew up: Elmtaryd.
