There are many interesting entrepreneurs but Steve Jobs certainly has been an inspiration and marvel in his field, leading Apple to an immensely successful company.

A Different Sort of CEO
Wikipedia reports that Jobs' biological parents – Abdulfattah Jandali, a Syrian Muslim graduate student who later became a political science professor, and Joanne Simpson, an American graduate studentwho went on to become a speech therapist– later married, giving birth to and raising Jobs' biological sister, the novelist Mona Simpson.After attending Cupertino Junior High School and Homestead High School in Cupertino, California, Jobs visited after-school lectures at the Hewlett-Packard where he was hired to work with Steve Wozniak as a summer employee.
Hard to imagine that the successful CEO in those days slept on the floor in friends' rooms made a few pennies by returning Coke bottles and receiving free meals at the local Hare Krishna temple.
