I love studying famous entrepreneurs. This is not just a fun hobby, but a very profitable thing to do. I have found that I am able to achieve much higher levels of success when I learn and model from the most successful entrepreneur in history.

You can benefit from the study of modern moguls as well as the ones from the past.

Modern day moguls include investing wiz Warren Buffet, the Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates, Donald Trump who started his empire as a real estate investor, and Oprah Winfrey who has taken a tv show and turned it into a billion dollar business.

These are most often household names, but there are others who have reached equally high levels of success over the past century that you may not be aware of.

Over the past two centuries, America has been the home of billionaire entrepreneurs such as Henry Ford who created the Ford car company, Sam Walton the founder of Wal Mart stores, John Rockefeller who revolutionized the oil industry, and Marshall Field who founded the iconic Marshalls retail stores.
