16. There Was A Fellow Named "Abe Lincoln"
Lincoln didn't have a hedge fund that specialized in predatory lending... and Lincoln didn't co-sponsor the Mexican-American War (in fact, he was bounced from Congress for being so vocally against it)... and his dad wasn't a solidly middle-class manager of a textile plant... but despite these shortcomings, I think Abe deserves a spot in rags-to-riches history.
