I'd bet that pretty much everyone that has been listed works a whole lot longer and harder than anyone realizes. I know there's a certain amount of luck in getting a job like the ones listed so far, but it takes a lot of work and talent to KEEP that job.
"No matter how many hours you study opponent films, there's only going to be eleven players on the other side of the line of scrimmage." - Sid Gillman
It's a simple game in which strategic beauty comes not from being surprised by some new clever trick, but from the sublime, routine brilliance of a master in his element.
Trev Albert. I mean, a guy that looks like that should never be on TV, however he is.
Other possibilities:
Zuckerberg: There are a lot of guys like Zuckerberg, however, he somehow got tipped of an idea and started a social website very similar to an established one. To top it off, MySpace was so poorly mismanaged that he was able to succeed (Zuckerberg has said this himself). He got the perfect storm. Note: I think the guy is a genious but anyone as successful as him got lucky, in case on a few different fronts.
Craig James: The guy KILLED 5 HOOKERS AT SMU and still didn't go to jail.
