1. Bill Gates= Everybody knows who he is and he is the owner of "Microsoft" in Redmond, Washington and is now retired as the chairperson. He owns Microsoft with Paul Allen. He is a friend to the next person on the list. He is still number one as one of the richest person in Forbes Magazine.
2. Warren Buffett= The guy made lots of money at picking the right stocks and now owns some companies such as the vacuum cleaning company that made Kirby. He donated some huge sums of money to Bill Gates at one time and besides that time never donated any money such as to charities. Second richest person on the list in Forbes magazine.
3. Suze Orman= This chick rocks. She is one of the most well known financial advisors and not just that but authors to under 10 books at the moment and will be making more. She is a full force to be reckoned with because before she got to where she is now, she used to be a waitress at the Buttercup Bakery in Berkeley, California for 7 years and after some guy at Merrill Lynch that did some bad financial transactions, she ended up deciding to work there and sue the company and was able to win the settlement. Now one of the richest person.
4. Jean Chatsky= A financial advisor and has written some books such as Pay It Down with Just $10 A Day and the most recent one at the moment, "The Difference." She writes regularly at MSN about money. A mom of two kids and she is another person to learn from for females. Her goal is to motivate females and encourage them that they are financially smart if they take the time to learn like she did.
5. Robert and Kim Kiyosaki= I know. This one has two people. You have to understand that they are a team. I got motivated with his "Rich Dad Poor Dad" book back in October 2006 and I haven't look back since. He also wrote a book with the famous Donald Trump which he is next. Kim Kiyosaki is also a book author written for women as well.
6. Donald Trump= One of the richest person and is well known by his real estate business and his show called "The Apprentice" where his famous line is "You're Fired." His two oldest, Donald Jr and Ivanka, are in the real estate business along with their dad. The Trump Tower is in New York while also owning many other buildings. Even though at one time he lost millions he was able to get out of the hole of bad debt.
7. Oprah Winfrey= She is worth billions with her show called "The Oprah Winfrey Show" where millions of viewers are mainly women. She came from a poor family and started off in the journalism area. Now she is rich beyond her wildest dreams.
8. Anthony Robbins= One of the most successful motivational speakers in America, his goal was to motivate and push people to excel themselves whether in finance, relationship, work or in any other areas of life. He had appeared on the cover of "Success" along with others such as Suze Orman and Lance Armstrong in 2009.
9. Jack Canfield= Another motivational speaker and author which he co owns the "Chicken Soup For the Soul" book series with Mark Victor Hansen. Their books are translated in more than 10 languages. Filled with stories from people that were willing to donate for free and despite how many had rejected them (21 book publishers), they never gave up hope on making it big together.
10. Robert Allen= You might of seen him on a infomercial that has to do with real estate investing. The youngest person who succeeded in real estate investing was a boy who was already filthy rich in 8th grade for using his system. Because of the course, he was able to donate lots of free and new bikes to local kids in his area. Robert is also in a Network Marketing company and a book author which has sold in the millions section of books sold such as "Multiple Streams of Income" and Multiple Streams of Income on the Internet."
As you can see, these people are a big influence on me. I love the fact that they are entrepreneurs and go after what they want in life in order to become "financially successful" on my list.
