Daniel Ek is the cofounder and CEO of Spotify. His help with the company revolutionized the way people today listen to music. Thanks to his efforts, the 36 year old man from Sweden is now a billionaire. Before Spotify, Ek was working creating websites for businesses, eventually charging $5000 for a website. From there he worked for several startups that were successful.

Ek is a great example of someone going into a field and working his way to the top. He had a great product and did a fantastic job of making a successful company. Spotify specifically has raise over $2 billion in venture funding. His share of Spotify alone is north of $1 billion. He is clearly one of the most successful millennial entrepreneurs.

I admire the way Ek worked throughout his life. He started making websites by himself and got to the point where he could jump onto a startup team that ended up selling to eBay. His ventures in entrepreneurship are hard to match. And I admire the way he worked to get Spotify to the point it is at today.
