Sergey Mikhailovich Brin, an American business magnate computer scientist, and internet entrepreneur, who co-founded Google with Larry Page. Brin is listed as the 12th richest person in the world, with a NetWorth listed at 78 billion. Brin immigrated to the United States with his family from the Soviet Union at the age of six. He earned his bachelor’s degree at the University of Maryland, College Park following in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps by studying mathematics, as well as computer science. After graduation, he enrolled in Standford University to acquire a PhD in computer science. The program became popular at Stanford, and they suspended their PhD studies to start up Google in Susan Wojcicki’s garage. During an orientation for new students at Stanford, he met Larry Page and the two men seemed to disagree on most subjects, but after spending time together they “became intellectual soul-mates and close friends. After years of failure and determination to get their work done, as most entrepreneurs go through, they were able to create Google, with Sergey becoming the co-founder. He has smartly invested millions of dollars into other products and companies, increasing his NetWorth substantially.

Ben Francis, a young British entrepreneur and businessman, gained my attention through his hard work and determination. Ben is the founder and majority shareholder of the massive fitness apparel and accessories brand Gymshark. Ben founded Gym Shark when he was only 19 years old, while also being a college student and a pizza delivery man to help fund his new idea. He says he started the business out of passion, loving the fitness industry and talking about how much it had changed his life. When his business started to grow, he completely cut everything else off to focus on this one venture. Ben notes that if he acted the same way he did 8 years ago when he first founded this product, the business would not be where it is today. This proves that entrepreneurs have to learn to be the most adaptable in order to continue to grow their business and become successful. In his early days, Ben didn’t normally watch tv and neither did his friends, but instead they watched YouTube and stuck to social media. As he made his product, he decided to send these influencers his product to see how they would react to it. After so long, these influencers decided wearing the products around and promoting them to their millions of people over social media and YouTube. A result of this was a massive uproar in clothing sales and the business took off. Today, they have a completely different strategy. They don’t work with loads and loads of people, but instead they protect the name and keep it very tight. He expanded with the different types of fitness clothing he sells, making something to love for everybody.
