ATLANTA - Even before you get into this week's office, you'll notice all the flags outside. They're from all the countries where this guy does business.
     Flags
     Now this is an office. Thirty-five hundred square feet.
     Office
     The big chair's a tip-off. He used to own a major league baseball team -- as to which one, there are a lot of clues prowling all over.
     Glove chair
     There are a lot of books about Frank Lloyd Wright. That makes sense -- our man wanted to be an architect once and even said "Buildings form character." Instead, he started a different business with a $500 loan and a Volkswagen.
     Reading about architecture
     The religious statues and copies of the Catholic Church's Catechism let us know he takes his faith very seriously. He was raised in a Catholic orphanage.
     Catechisms
     One of the few things we didn't see in this office were any obvious giveaways about the business that's made him worth nearly half a billion dollars.
     Tabletop
     So whose office has the baseball glove chair? Back to top
