The Ppl That most impress me is Bill Gates and Eike Batista, both in their early 50's ..
Both of them are Self Made Billionaire... So probably till the age of 28-29 they might be living a very ordinary life and then In the matter of 20 years moved up to being the Billionares.. Most Richest... JUST WHAOO!!
And Eika added almost 20 Bil this year.. Just amazing
