Greatest Businessman Ever

It's Andrew Carnegie and it's not even close. The guy started with zero. Parlayed it up to $350 Million (in 1910 dollars) while helping build America through his gigantic steel company and railroad investments. Then giving everything he had earned away in the form of libraries all over the country.

Who is your choice as the greatest businessman ever? Bill Gates? Sam Walton? Henry Ford? Jobs and Wozniak? Trump? Edison?

Shouldn't Warren Buffet be on that list?

Gates musst have taken a page from that guy. I think his foundation builds libraries. Which is cool cause my local library, which is in one of the better neighborhoods here, can't even afford to stay open on Fridays.
