Jack Welch is best known for streamlining GE and reducing management from 29 levels to only six. While he pulled up the cumulative value of GE up from $12 billion to $280 billion - the greatest leap under any CEO, he is also notorious among former employees as he got many of them fired.

Once the richest man in the world, Bill Gates in only a college dropout! Instead of studying at the iconic Harvard University, Bill and Paul Allen opened Microsoft, and the rest is history.

The father of the modern automobile and Ford Motors was a rather odd entrepreneur. The inventor of the modern assembly line, contrary to the notion of his investors, Ford insisted upon designing an automobile for the common man. He also payed his employees more than the average salary, and promoted 'welfare capitalism' - call it the precursor to CSR.

Ray Kroc is the man behind the best know restaurant chain in the world McDonald's.

Meet an entrepreneur who is not interested in making money! Craigslist's CEO Jim Buckmaster feels the key to their success is an anti-commercial value system based on three 'ironies - 'the ironies of unbranding, demonetizing, and noncompeting.'

The most unexpected entry in the list, this celebrity stamped as the 'Most Overrated Celebrity' by the Guinness Book of World Records hates to call herself a 'businesswoman'. Owever, her celebrity status is worth millions and she remains in the media for things that have actually got people into trouble - sex tapes, ditsy behavior, and drunken parties. If she earns a couple of thousand dollars to just turn up to a party or dance the night away, there is surely something that she does to market herself that others don't.
