2. Ralph Lauren – $7.7 Billion
Remember Rachel from the TV show “Friends” worked at Ralph Lauren? Well, the Ralph Lauren is the company/brand of Ralph Rueben Lifshitz.
Ralph Lauren was born in the Bronx, NY and managed to earn a net worth of $7.7 billion.
The perfect example of the American Dream! Lauren took a big risk by taking out $50k in loan to start the brand Polo and selling neckties for men.
But when that proved to be a big success, Lauren launched a line of suits, followed by the line of polo shirts. The Polo shirts are defining the imagine of Ralph Lauren and that image will stand forever.
He also collects cars, owns between 50-100 Ferrari, Bentley and Alfa Romeo. He needs something to do with his money, right?
