Today I am going to count the 5 best fictional entrepreneurs of all time!
first honorable mention
Jeffrey Lebowski (the Big Lebowski, not the Dude)
OK, Jeffrey Lebowski appears to be a disabled old man, who is a millionaire. He lost use of his legacies in Korea, seems to own several businesses and has a charity to help poor children go to college. However, you find out that he doesn’t own any of this! His first wife was the Entrepreneur, and she took over the whole business, but she used him as a front and now his daughter takes care of everything.
You’re probably wondering why I mention them, well when his 18 year old new trophy wife runs away some German nihilists find out (they don’t believe in anything) and demand a 1 million dollar ransom. He takes his charity’s million dollars, keeps it for himself, and has the other Jeffrey Lebowski (the guy) go after his wife’s catches with an empty case that’s supposed to have 1 million in it so he can blame The I doubted everything. He made 1 million dollars!
Here is the actual list.
5. Dwight Schrute (The Office)
You are probably thinking that it is not just a paper seller. Well, yes, Dwight is a newsboy, but he also owns a farm, he also rents out the farm to weddings/cons, runs a small Bed n Breakfast, and later owns the office building that Dunder is located in. Mifflin and also from the cafeteria. .
4.Blake (Glengarry Glen Ross)
Why is it on this list? You earned $970,000 last year, how much did you earn? He drives an $80,000 BMW. What do you drive, a Hyundai? His watch costs more than your car!
He’s a sales strategist who makes close to a million a year.
3. Thomas Crown (Steve McQueen in the 1968 Thomas Crown Affair)
Thomas Crown is a billionaire businessman and playboy (think 1960s American Sir Richard Branson). He owns several companies, a beach mansion and a glider, a Dune Buggy and several cars. However, Thomas Crown got bored one day, so he came up with a way to make money and have fun! Get away with a Bank Robbery! He Hired crooks over the phone that he never had to see, to rob a bank for 2.6 million cash! He had them drop him off at a Cemetery, where he then collected the money without having to see any of the robbers. He also has the ability to seduce women just by looking at them and touching their lips.
2. Tony Stark (Iron Man, Iron Man 2)
Tony Stark is a billionaire who owns and runs Stark Industries, which makes weapons, planes, etc. He uses his money well, has a great house, gets the women he wants, uses a ’32 Ford Hot Rod as a couch, listens to Black Sabbath, and is Iron Man.
1. Gordon Gekko (Wall Street)
“Greed for lack of a better word is good…” Gordon Gekko, the King of Wall Street, the man who made Charlie Sheen winning (sort of). He does not create anything, he owns it! He sure his methods are a little shady and a little illegal, but he still has billions of dollars! He made being an investor look cool and that’s an understatement! Michael Douglas played Gekko so well that people forgot that Gekko isn’t real. Gekko inspired many people to become brokers and investors who want to start like Bud Fox and end up like Gordon Gekko!
Those are who I think are the best fictional businessmen, who do you think that is?
