Turned down by Harvard? Don’t feel bad. So was  Warren Buffett , head of Berkshire Hathaway. But it wasn’t a death knell to his spirit or cause him to realign his goals. Like most successful people, he forged ahead. While most people never have the epiphany that tells us what to do with our lives, Warren Buffett’s light bulb came on at the age of ten. While at lunch with his father who was a member of the New York Stock Exchange, something in their conversation lit that elusive spark that made young Buffet realize that his goal would revolve around money.

Never wavering from his goal, he was bringing in almost $200 a month as a teenager in the 1940s (more than his teachers were making) by working every job he could find, including door-to-door sales and cleani...

After Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, the third place position has been held by Carlos Slim Helu, the Mexican businessman and investor who has a controlling interest in many companies, including Telmex and America Movil. However, Slim has been pushed out of his position, and been replaced by Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com , according to a recent report by Bloomberg . This is due to the fact that the stock price of Amazon has had a huge spike. Yesterday, the stock traded at 680.57 per share. It has since dropped from that price, currently 651.57, but still substantially higher than its price on January 2 this year of 308.52. Having a substantial amount of stock that more than doubles in less than a year can really help your net worth.
