My goodness......there are basically thousands of millionaires out there - each with different backgrounds and achievements!!!
There's Warren Buffet - He basically invests in companies which are Undervalued and hold them on for years until he resells them at a higher price.
There's Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei - This guy basically inherited his country's oil.
There's Ray Kroc - This guy bought over the "McDonald's" franchise from the McDonald brothers for USD2 mil when he saw the potential and opened McDonald's in every part of the country. But the most innovative thing about his success was that he managed to get his fundings for opening all his McDonalds by applying financing and registered the business as a "Real Estate investment" business.

I'm listening to an audio book, "The Millionaire Mind", by Thomas Stanley. This book and his previous book, "The Millionaire Next Door" are excellent reads about millionaires and how they made their money.
