Ralph Lauren

Lauren has always been a driven individual. He said in an interview that he wrote “I want to be a millionaire” beneath his portrait in his senior year. He briefly studied business before joining the army and working as a salesman when the idea for a European-style necktie came to him. His invention was first turned down since it was not financially feasible, but after selling a few of them, he was able to acquire funding. And thus was Ralph Lauren’s modest beginnings.
