6. Ralph Lauren – Net Worth: $7.1 billion
Ralph Lauren is one of the most notable designers in the fashion world, best known for being the CEO of the Ralph Lauren Corporation. Ever since he was a kid, he was very ambitious and his main goal was to become a millionaire. He started earning money back in high school, when he was selling ties to other students in the school. After graduating from high school, he continued his education at Baruch College where he was studying business. However, he dropped out only two years later because he wanted to join the army, where he also spent two years. After that, he managed to get a job at a tie company, where he stayed only for a brief period of time. He left the company because they rejected a lot of his design ideas. A year later, he began designing neckties from rags, and eventually founded Polo with a budget of $50,000. He now has a net worth of $7.1 billion.
