Just giving more meaning to your facts,
The people who are on the list are the ones who had a dream and began only with a dream. "A dream has the power to transform imagination into reality."
But with these facts, don't mistake that money means success. For money is the result of success and not success itself. Different dreams have different products ranging from satisfaction, reputation, money to another dream. "Define what success is to you, or you would seldom achieve it."
To finish it up, "the most valuable things in the world are often priceless not price-less."
