lawrence ellison is also a self made multi billionaire. i have never heard of any of the tragically poor people of america as being referred to as "self made" so i guess they were maybe made by someone other than themselves. maybe they should be known as othermades. lawrence has already given me a gift that i find nearly priceless. he is an avid competitive boater of sorts and in a description of him on forbes online magazine they describe one of his boats as a "megayacht". that is a new word to my vocabulary and i am sure a useful addition to my world.lawrence is also a dropout, like two of his predecessors on this list, but like the others it didn't harm his earning potential too drastically. he is worth 25 billion dollars.

i'm sure he'll be happy to see a letter or a greeting card from you and will most assuredly get back to you if he isn't out on the water.
