What Is Your Envy List?
When I saw the title “What is your envy list? - 25 people you want to be” on the cover of the magazine, three (OK, four) people’s names immediately popped up in my head. I have been envying these people ever since I knew how to spell their names.
Mark Cuban
If there is ever going to be a “World’s Luckiest Bastard Award”, this guy gotta win the grand prize. He sold a startup company to Yahoo for a few billion dollars during the venture-capitalists-gone-wild-and-any-junk-worth-a-million era back in the late 90’s. Then, he heavily invested in and promoted HDTV. Now look around, everybody’s got a HDTV or dreamed about having one. Just before the mainstream media began to pay attention to the blog phenomenon, he teamed up with Weblog Inc and started Blog Maverick. Then AOL bought it. Oh, and not to mention his full time job is running around with Dallas Maverick and showing the world that he could afford 1+ million dollar fine if he needs to freely express his emotions on the basketball court. He had a TV show too? Man, it amazes me that this guy hasn’t placed a wrong bet and every move he makes is a few steps ahead of the crowd.
Alex Tew
Yeah, that milliondollarhomepage boy made 300+K in a month with a brilliant idea and a few lines of code. What’s not to envy?!
Sergey Brin and Larry Page
They are Google’s daddies. They turned a Ph.D thesis/research topic into a billion dollar business, without even running the company themselves. I am kicking myself for not accepting Stanford’s offer back in 1995. I’d be in the same department with these two guys if I wasn’t aiming at the money (Univ. Penn offered a full Ph.D scholarship package and Stanford only admitted me into a Master program with no financial aid). Google was born on campus in 1996. Both these guys are worth billions with their stock holdings.
What is your envy list?
Have a few names in your head and then check out Fortune’s 25 people envy list. I read the article afterwards and I got 75% hit ratio (if including the Lucky Hall of Fame list).
I think what separates these people from the rest of us are:
A) They all had a great idea
B) They worked hard to turn the idea into reality.
