Simon Griffiths

Simon Griffiths is an Australian entrepreneur whose first post-graduate social enterprise was Ripple, a click-to-give and search-to-give website that donates 100% of its revenue to development aid organizations. His current project is a nonprofit bar called Shebeen. Shebeen sells exotic beer and wine from the developing world. The profits from each drink sale supports a development project in that drink’s country of origin. What we love about this is that Simon has finally found a way for people to do good by getting drunk.

Marc Nager

Marc Nager is the CEO of Startup Weekend, a nonprofit organization that hosts events in which developers, designers, marketers, product managers and startup enthusiasts come together to share ideas, form teams, build products and literally launch an actual startup over the course of 54 hours. What we love about Marc is that he acquired a for-profit company, turned it into a non-profit and then scaled it into a global organization.

Sergey Brin

again reputed to be worth more than $17.5bn – Brin is also the co-founder of Google and high on our list of famous entrepreneurs.
Okay, so the Google guys have kicked this list off in good style. Next, we're staying with the entrepreneur online theme but moving into slightly different territory...

Our next entrepreneurs are still part of our online world and possibly more famous than the boys behind Google above! 

Lawrence Page

reputed to be worth a staggering $17.5bn – at 37 years old, Larry is the co-founder of Google Inc .With his parents guidance Lawrence was groomed for success in the IT industry and from the beginning Page was destined to be successful one way or another. But it was his collaboration with his soon to be co-founder, Sergey Brin, whilst studying at Stamford that was the turning point for the young Page. After struggling to hit it off as friends initially the pair started working on a project together that evolved into what we now know to be the Google search engine. Failing to sell the plan as they had wanted to at the outset, the pair were able to bring in enough funding to set up the business themselves and in September 1998 Google Inc opened in Menlo Park, California. The rest as they say was history.

I've grouped the next addition together with the previous one as the two seem to go pretty much hand in hand...a pair of web entrepreneurs who have made millions online!

Warren Buffet

Warren Buffet was born in 1930.  Investing was in Buffets genes, as his father, Howard, was a successful stockbroker and also a congressman. Warren always had an eye for business.  He had 2 paper routes for the Washington Post, He also made money by collecting and selling lost golf balls. When Warren was eleven he purchased three shares of Cities Service Preferred at $38 per share for both himself and his older sister, Doris. Shortly after buying the stock, it fell to just over $27 per share. A frightened but resilient Warren held his shares until they rebounded to $40. He promptly sold them – a mistake he would soon come to regret. Cities Service shot up to $200. The experience taught him one of the basic lessons of investing: patience is a virtue.   He began betting on horses at 12, and started a pinball machine business while in high school, earning him $50 a week. By graduation, he also had bought himself forty acres of Nebraskan farm land with his profit.
