Pimpin' on the Blood Throne
Today's hip-hop moguls are the greatest entrepreneurs in history. Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Russell Simmons, Dr. Dre, Jay Z and a host of others are all worth somewhere in the hundreds of millions. A few of them will be worth a billion dollars eventually. They all made their money by diversifying into many businesses, such as music, publishing, producing, clothes and fashion lines, cars, movies, etc.
The legendary American iconic tycoons, such as the Rockefellers, the Carnegies, the Kennedys, have now some new members who definitely come from the wrong side of the tracks.

Tim Berners-Lee: The Unknown Demigod
August sixth should be celebrated globally as Worldwide Web Day. On that day in 1991, Tim Berners-Lee created the first web site, http://info.cern.ch/, and he explained on the site how to own a browser and set up web servers. He also is the primary inventor of the URL, HTML, and HTTP protocols. Why does it seem that no one has heard of Tim Berners-Lee? He is the unknown demigod.
