I am happy to see that this list came out. It proves that age is just a number and anybody can really become a powerhouse of sorts. I hope schools will use this list to inspire their students to become someone who is so much bigger than they think can be.

Do you approve of lists like this one? I do and I find that they might be what is needed to create a drive to be like them. However, I do think they should be honored for their work and not so much, about how much they earn. With that being said, I will say that Mark being in first place on this list does not surprise me.
