We're all familiar with the precocious offspring of business dynasties-- think of the the scions of the Houses of Trump, Hilton and Newhouse. But look around the ranks of corporate America's most prominent execs and you'll also find a wealth of self-generated wealth.

For those who think the economy has stalled and America's becoming less equitable, there's no shortage of Horatio Alger stories among top-flight execs. Humble beginnings, dogged dedication and any number of strange jobs highlight the early years of more than a few CEOs. http://news.yahoo.com/s/huffpost/20100819/cm_huffpost/686177
 
This is why I love my country. I enjoy reading inspirational stories and its stories like this that prevent me from giving up on my dreams. God bless America!
