Harold Hamm
Harold Hamm was raised by Oklahoma sharecroppers, who put him to work picking cotton barefoot as a child. He was the youngest of 13 kids. When he was 16 he had to take a job at a gas station to support his home. He is now the founder chairman and CEO of the oil company Continental Resources which has a net worth of $10.1 billion. During the financial trouble he drew inspiration from the fellow residents of Oklahoma and one of them was a local potter. "He had this lump of clay that he was slapping like a baby," Hamm said. "It was clear that he did well because that was his passion, his art, and the message was that all of us could do well if we followed our passion in life."
