2 of 10
Born to a mother who didn't graduate high school and a truck driver father, Schultz's story is the true definition of climbing up the ranks. Starting as a marketing director in 1980, Schultz became the CEO of Starbucks (SBUX)in 2008.
Pulling himself out from his situation, Schultz runs a company spread over 50 countries and has $200,000 to spend just for his home security.
