When you look at billionaires, many of them share one characteristic: They were not born billionaires.

Sergio Ermotti

Russell Simmons

If you raise taxes on millionaires and billionaires, you'll do nothing to address the debt and the deficit. And the thing you might do is you might finally put this economy over another cliff. These millionaires and billionaires are the folks that try to create jobs and help grow the economy.

Joe Walsh

You know what isn't class warfare? Progressive taxation, as in, say, expecting billionaires to pay at least as much in taxes as their secretaries. Ideally, in fact, they should pay more.

Timothy Noah

It wasn't an excuse. It was a fact. He'd had to make his way alone, and no one - not rock stars, not professional athletes, not software billionaires, and not even geniuses - ever makes it alone.

Malcolm Gladwell

Look at the structure of the Gates Foundation and this idea that, rather than trying to solve these huge global problems through institutions with some kind of democracy and transparency baked into them, we're just going to outsource it to benevolent billionaires.

Robert Downey, Jr.

If in fact the rates go up because the president refuses to budge then he will have to answer for that next year when our economy is not growing.

Marco Rubio

Some billionaires like cars, yachts and private jets. Others like newspapers.
