Ever wonder where do superheroes like Spider-Man, the Hulk, Captain America and X-Men come from?
Have you heard of Marvel Comics? Well, that’s where they’re created.
And now, let’s welcome a new billionaire‚ Issac Perlmutter!!!
Yes, he is the CEO of Marvel Entertainment.
This man, age 67 years, is now worth 1.6 billion US Dollars!
This man, age 67 years, is now worth 1.6 billion US Dollars!
More commonly known as "Ike", he was born in Israel but has a Jewish-American ethnic background. Who would have thought that this successful businessman's first fortune was made from selling surplus goods to dollar stores? He started with $250. In between, he stood outside Jewish cemeteries, touted for work services, sold toys and beauty products on the street and even owned shares in an electric razor manufacturing company.
Here’s an interesting bit about him: The famous behind-the-scenes hero of Marvel Entertainment is unexpectedly publicity-shy! He disguises himself when attending movie premieres until the state that no one could recognise him, not even his close friends! Isn’t that unbelievable? His heavy Israeli accent is believed as the reason for his shyness in public. He tends to keep a low profile, that is why photographs of him are particularly difficult to be found online and little is known about his early background. Also, he is described as the type of guy that wouldn’t be noticed deliberately. Being observant and absorbing everything that happens around him, he is often taken to be a relaxing person who does not seem to worry about anything. Do not bear such thoughts in mind, as he is well known for progressing ahead and preparing for the next challenge in life.
Believe it or not, penny pinching is also one of this new billionaire’s traits! It is said that he keeps each and every publishing cost under his thumb, which includes toilet paper, paper towels, paperclips, staples and even coffee! How astonishing!
