Notes:
Profiles of 12 leading present-day self-made businessmen written in a popular style for a broad audience. Reconsidered five years later in the author's 'Risk Takers. Portraits of money, ego and power', 1990. The sole criterion for inclusion was the author's 'own fascination' and 'who do for real what so many people really dream of'. The author states himself to be neither a 'financial journalist nor business writer by trade'. For different essays see individual BHE entries
