MSNBC offers its list of the “History’s 10 Greatest Entrepreneurs”. Its list:
- King Croesus
- Pope Sixtus IV
- Benjamin Franklin
- P.T. Barnum
- Thomas Edison
- Henry Ford
- Benjamin Siegel
- Ray Kroc
- H. Ross Perot
- Jobs & Wozniak
This list includes a few good choices, but several of their picks were included because they were really good con-men, sleazy businessmen, or even gangsters. YIKES! What were they thinking?! Let’s try a list of those who build wealth and did good deeds for society as they made their wealth.
