4. Warren Buffet – the greatest investor in history remains meek, humble and lives a simple life despite making it as the second richest man in the World for so many times over.
5. Donald Trump – every place is stamped with Trump.
Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.
—Albert Einstein
