Fortunately, we have a plethora of entrepreneurs to look up to when we need motivation to pursue our own ideas rather than those of others.

The best and most successful entrepreneurs are those who can bear the majority of the risks while reaping the majority of the benefits. But if you want to know what an entrepreneur is in plain English, stop there.

If you are someone who is beginning to think of himself as an entrepreneur and dreams of creating your own successful business, stop there.

Prepare to be inspired by this varied group of successful self-made entrepreneurs who have become the world’s wealthiest entrepreneurs before you do anything.

The purpose of this article is to compile a list of some of the best entrepreneurs to watch in 2021.

So let’s dig in…

1. Jeff Bezos

Jeff Bezos is the founder of Amazon, the world’s largest online marketplace with millions of customers.

Who is Jeff Bezos, and what does he do?

Jeff Bezos (full name: Jeffrey Preston Bezos) is an American businessman, the world’s wealthiest investor, and philanthropist who attended Princeton University.

Jeff launched Amazon.com on July 5, 1994, named after a meandering South American river, where he sold books in the United States and 45 other countries within 30 days. Later on, he began delivering CDs, videos, clothing, electronics, toys, and other items.

Now, Amazon is the largest e-retailer in the United States, with recent net sales of almost 280 billion dollars, which is a huge sum, right?

Even in developing countries such as India, Amazon is thriving and competing with eCommerce behemoths such as Flipkart (even dominating in few areas).

2. Elon Musk

Elon Reeve Musk, better known as Elon Musk, is a successful businessman, investor, industrial designer, and engineer. Musk is the creator of SpaceX, the world’s largest aerospace manufacturer and provider of space transportation services, with a market capitalization of $46 billion.

He also owns Tesla Inc., the world’s leading renewable energy and electric car firm. The Boring Firm, the world’s largest infrastructure company that provides tunnel building services, is also owned by this business billionaire.

He has, without a doubt, diversified his interests, having one of the most diverse portfolios of enterprises of any entrepreneur on our list. Musk is also a co-founder of Neuralink Corporation, a neurotechnology firm. Musk also owns the for-profit firm Open AI, which is dedicated to artificial intelligence research.

Elon Musk, who owns five of the world’s top corporations, is regarded one of the richest persons in the world, second only to Jeff Bezos, with a net worth of $171.6 billion.

With Alain Chevalier, Bernard Arnault co-founded LMVH, a luxury goods firm. LVMH now owns and operates over 80 brands, including Louis Vuitton and Sephora.

Bernard Arnault is the third richest entrepreneur in the world, with a substantial net worth of $155.1 billion dollars, according to the list of the world’s most prominent billionaires.

He is a media mogul and a technology entrepreneur. He is the CEO of Facebook Inc., the world’s most popular social networking site.

By creating and building Facebook, Zuckerberg has amassed one of the world’s most enormous fortunes in 13 years. The most popular social media platform in the media industry has always been Facebook.

Since its inception in 2004, Facebook has gone through many ups and downs, but Mark Zuckerberg has consistently risen to the top of Forbes’ list of the world’s youngest and wealthiest entrepreneurs.
