The solar companies didn't fare well either.

What I found a bit disheartening was that the WORLD'S top 400 assets amount to $4 trillion and would cover only a quarter of this country's debt.

The diamond in the rough of the story is the top gainer of 2014, the man who made over $25 billion, started off his career as a school teacher and grew up neither in a castle nor a mansion.

Next lifetime!
