Li Ka-shing

Li Ka-shing
($18.8 billion)

The greatest accomplishment you might expect of a high-school dropout selling artificial flowers might be a graduation to selling real ones. But top 10 billionaire? Hong Kong's Li Ka-shing never benefited from an advanced education, but it hardly seems to have deterred him. Asia's richest person, also known as "Superman," accumulated his self-made billions through diverse interests ranging from real estate to cell phones, which allowed him to build empires out of his Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa corporations.Quote: "Money isn't as important as teaching sound principles about money."
