Gene Simmons: at 15 he designed and got a patent for the "moneybag" logo that was featured in scores of comic books in the late 1960s and '70s, making him somewhat wealthy by the time he earned his teaching degree. As a teenager, Simmons always created money-making ideas; some worked, others didn't---but he never stopped.
Yes: the demon of KISS was a English teacher--who opted to co-found a historic Rock n Roll band. Gene's respect for KISS fans, coupled by his razor sharp detailed focus on the business end of music marketing allowed him to not only create a virtual KISS universe, it made him more millions of $$$$ than many fellow musicians of equal historic fame.
Semi-retired from KISS, Simmons NEVER stops comming up with business ideas. Again: some work, some don't--but still, he tirelessly forges on w/ NO end in sight.
His secret? Make what you love doing your fuel to keep going. Respect BOTH success and failure--with a measure of realistic common sense.

Burt Rutan (Spaceship 1 & White Knight) along with Sir Richard Branson(Virgin Airlines) for their Talent and almost childlike vision that they could go to space in a plywood spaceship, and in essence they did winning the X-prize, 10 million dollars and waking the rest of the world up to the simplistic possibilities. They were a team of teams omong a team. Hero's all! Dont ever let anyone tell you that you cannot fly to the stars, they didnt listen and I dont either.
Edit: For those who dont know these men, their team and flight crew did not do it for the money. They did it because they believed they could, and they did what they set their sail's for. Mr. Rutan has been a mentor of sorts since I was a boy. Always thought he would beat me to warp drive before I grew up. Haha Guess neither one of us ever grew up. Here, Here to the vision.

Bill Gates all day everyday. For one he's a Scorpio like me and P. Diddy. Plus he sticks it to elitist people by giving copious amounts of cash to the poor.

I really cannot think of a single one at this moment... however, if you re-ask the question, but ask who's your LEAST favorite... I'll bet the answers will POUR in!
