Some must learn the ropes first, gaining valuable experience in their respective fields while still at more established companies. For others, it takes hitting rock bottom professionally during their younger years, coming to terms with what went wrong and mapping out a plan to avoid crashing the second time around. Then there are those who happen to come up with an idea that's almost immediately a commercial hit.
Take Harland Sanders, best known as "Colonel Sanders" of KFC fame. He was 62 when he opened his first Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise location. Or how about Dietrich Mateschitz, a co-founder and the chief executive of Red Bull, who took 10 years to complete his bachelor's degree and worked in a string of ho-hum corporate jobs before launching his energy drink company at age 43? Their experiences prove that age is just a number when it comes to creating a multimillion-dollar success.
