Went Bankrupt, Now Worth Millions!

In recessions, thousands of people go bankrupt everyday and are at the lowest point ever!

In this Entrepreneurs List I show you people that have been through tough times and who eventually came out on top again. I consider them inspirational and I hope you do too. Tough times never last but tough people do.

I was once told that you aren’t a true entrepreneur if you haven’t gone bankrupt at least once!

Well Walt Disney shows us how its done, he was fired by a newspaper editor because “he lacked imagination and had no good ideas.” He went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland. In fact, the proposed park was rejected by the city of Anaheim on the grounds that it would only attract riffraff.

It is also notable that I have included the founder of Penthouse and the blogger Perez Hilton both web entrepreneurs! The difference between them and the others on the list is that their money is new money, made in the last 10 years!
