Poll: What year were successful entrepreneurs born?
I've always felt a little behind the curve and noticed that most of the people who achieved success have been just slightly older than me. There were vast fortunes made between the late 80s and when the web went mainstream, about the time I graduated high school in 1995. I'm concerned now that with austerity, entitlement controversies, and wealth disparity, maybe there's an inverse correlation between how late you were born and success.
Let's call success independence from working for someone else. So that's roughly a self employment earnings of $50,000 per year in today's dollars, a net worth over $250,000, or being an early employee at a company that earned you enough to live off interest or dividends.
If you are a successful entrepreneur, what year were you born?
Before 1950
1950-1954
1955-1959
1960-1964
1965-1969
1970-1974
1975-1979
1980-1984
1985-1989
1990-1994
1995-1999
After 2000
Could one of the mods turn this into a poll for me and remove this line (It looks like the poll submission page is down)
