So, I don't know how they can be classified as entrepreneurs. And yes, i inserted Bill Gates because he deserved to be in that list.

1. Warren Buffet
2. Steve Jobs
3. Michael Dell
3. Bill Gates
4. Simon Fuller
5. Robert Kiyosaki
6. Robert Redford
7. Morgan Freeman
8. Ted Turner
9. Mary Kate and Ashley
10. Prince
11. Oprah Winfrey
12. Jay-Z
13. Sean Combs
14. 50 cent
15. Robert Allen
16. Gene Simmons

You already know those answers to your own questions, because it depends on how you, yourself, define those words. Thus there's no need for me to waste my time to write down stuff that you already know.

No, you created a list. Thus, the list depended on YOUR definitions and criteria. I simply asked for those. It was a simple couple questions, but if you'd rather not, that's fine.

Again, you fail to read carefully as usual. Look again, I didn't create the list, Scunizzo created the list, I simply provided my ranking based on the provided list, which I assume Scunizzo took it from the suggestions of names authored on this thread.

Wow. I simply asked for your definition of each. You could have just not responded if you didn't want to provide them.

You guys fail to distinguish the difference between Simon Cowell and Simon Fuller. Simon Fuller is the entrepreneur behind the creation of many of these reality TV shows, which Simon Cowell is just a TV judge, a Record company executive, and lately, he founded Syco, which relatively is still a small company. So, Simon Cowell is not really considered an entrepreneur, but simply a hard working guy.

Exactly my point! What defines an "entrepreneur?!" If you're going to label someone as either an "entrepreneur" or "simply a hard working guy," you have to be able to provide the basis for making such distinction. What makes an "entrepreneur?!"
