Notch is the closest to a "self-made" billionaire that we'll ever get. I want to be clear, I'm not making excuses for him. This is as good as it gets. This.
He’s not even self made. Minecraft was originally an Infiniminer clone. I don’t think he’s particularly good at the business side of things either. He was a moderately capable programmer who got really lucky and minimized the sort of squandering that people typically do with such a lucky break.
