12. Jack Ma
Jack Ma is the founder of Alibaba, an online marketplace company. But, before he achieved his net worth of over $25 billion, he was just a regular guy. Jack was born in China to parents who were ping tanperformers (which basically means that they sang songs and told stories).
He failed his college entrance exams twice because he wasn’t so great at math (we can’t help but wonder if the billions in his bank account changed that). Anyway, he eventually graduated teacher’s college and became a teacher, earning $12 a month. Yes, that’s about the same price as two coffees from Starbucks. Oddly, the billionaire says he would like to go back to his old life, when he earned $12 per month, because he doesn’t know how to spend his billions. Can we switch lives with him?
