This is a great list. The only name I would add is Ray Kroc, founder of the McDonalds Corporation. He was truly a visionary entrepreneur, shaping fast food as we know it today. Both Ray’s personal and business visions are truly inspiring.

I agree with Adam. I don’t see anything visionary about Madonna, Tiger Woods, David Beckham, etc. I would, however, add J. Lloyd “Coach” Tomer, Scott Tomer and Kim Sorensen who helped Art Williams (see JJAstor’s comment) build A.L. Williams that is now Primerica and are building again with YTB. Amazing visionaries.

The list starts off great but I think towards the end its just about naming celebrities. I dont see how Madonna, Tiger woods, David Beckham, etc are considered top visionaries. There are people that have accomplished much more than these people. Steve jobs should be closer to the top 5. He changed the way we look at computing. Bill Gates should also be conisdered a top visionary despite Microsoft’s shortcomings.

[...] Monopolistic? Not as if you put it all into the proper context… there is a reason why investing is known as gambling only to those who gamble with their investments. Could it be coincidence that Warren Buffet employs a similar concept and reaps the benefits of such (comment taken from a post from Evan at Young Entrepreneur): “His secret, as William Grieder writes in his book “The Soul of Capitalism” is that Buffet “stays close to his capital.” That is, he will not invest unless he personally meets with the top executives and completely buys into their business strategy. This simple yet proven philosophy has served Buffet well, propelling him to previously unimaginable heights of wealth creation.” [...]

Interesting list. I would probably add Carlos “Slim” Helu(TelMEX, America Movil), Wayne Huizenga (although he built many empires, WMI, Republic, Blockbuster, AutoNation, Extended Stay America), Art Williams(Primerica), and last but not least, John Jacob Astor built a giant fur trading and real estate empire.

I would add the CEO of the parent company of my franchise. Mr. James R Ridinger. He is truly changing the face of business and financial freedom for the average person. If you’d like to know more about him, feel free to email me (bettermylifenow@gmail.com) and check him out at one of our trainings…
