Chase Jarvis

For those interested in business, the name Mark Cuban will probably ring a bell. Why? Because Cuban just happens to be one of the most successful businessmen in the world today. Cuban is everywhere - from books, to blogging, entertainment to tech, whatever company he touches quickly turns to gold. He was also instrumental in making the Dallas Mavericks the NBA World Champions in 2011.

Despite Cuban's riches and accolades, he's also been through rough times. He worked a lot of small jobs before reaching the pinnacle of financial success - for one, he used to sell garbage bags door to door. However, these experiences taught him the value of hard work and perseverance. After graduating from Indiana University, Cuban founded his first company - MicroSolutions, a computer consulting service - and sold it to CompuServe for $6 million in 1990. Fast forward to 1995, and Cuban had created a streaming studio known as Broadcast.com (then Audionet). After four years, he sold this to Yahoo for a whopping 5.6 billion dollars.
