Who needs a personal fortune in the billions when you can snub those who do on a list like Business 2.0's 50 People Who Matter. At number 34, I get to beat Oprah Winfrey in her own town. Now that's an honor making other recent accolades blush!

BTW, I'm happy to see that Business 2.0 held no ill will over my blast of their startup guide. Now that they put my name on a list, they're of course a completely authority. And you should listen! ;)
