Most of the people are not born rich, but poor. More often than not, they start their own business or come up with a brilliant idea that will change their life forever. Such people are more than famous today. To name but a few: Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffet and Oprah Winfrey. All these people have greatly influenced the way in which money is produced. Nothing has come easy for these rich people. They have strived through hard work and determination.

In my opinion, the most influential female of the rich people is Oprah Winfrey. She is an American media proprietor, talk show host, actress, producer and philanthropist. Her multi-award-winning talk show has become the highest rated of its kind in history.  Oprah has been ranked on the list of rich people the wealthiest African American of the 20th century, the greatest philanthropist in American history and she was for a time the world’s only billionaire of African-American heritage. Oprah is not the only one on the list of rich people.

Another powerful name on the rich people list is Warren Buffett, one of the most influential business magnates in the department of insurances. He is widely regarded as one of the most successful investors and is ranked among the world’s wealthiest people. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, has become a conglomerate holding company that oversees and manages a number of subsidiary companies.

Probably one of the most famous example of rich people is Bill Gates. Gates is the father of the Windows operating system. Ever since its creation, millions of people worldwide have been using this operating system. He is one of the best known rich people and entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. Another example of rich people in the computer industry is Steve Jobs, who similarly to Bill Gates has changed the face of communication and computers when he introduced the Mac PC and the iPhones. Just like them, there are many other rich people that worked very hard and were very determined to get where they are today. These rich people own large fortunes that ordinary people cannot even dream of having.
