    Don't get me wrong, that's very impressive, but that's hardly a unique case. First person that comes to mind, again, is Mark Zuckerberg, who left Harvard. (Not to mention Bill Gates, who did the same a generation earlier.)

      Perhaps the people you mentioned (Bill and Mark) would be on your top 5 list. Here are the other lists from the article, many of which include Gates: http://www.inc.com/magazine/20090401/that-certain-something_Printer_Friendly.html http://www.inc.com/magazine/20090401/that-certain-something_...
