He is 71 years old. He is a college-drop-out and former store salesman with Brooks Brothers.
In 2010, Forbes estimates his wealth at $4.6 billion dollars which would make him the 173rd richest person in the world.
He is the world famous fashion designer and business executive, best-known for his Polo Ralph Lauren clothing brand. He is Ralph Lauren.
Ralph Lauren is applauded and lionized in the Wall Street Journal's (weekend edition) "OFF DUTY" section with the article entitled "Engine of Style."
It is rather interesting that Mr. Lauren is never asked how he happened to "acquire" the Polo brand name. You'd probably have to ask someone who was playing Polo at the time for the most interesting and true story.
Enjoy your auto collection, Mr. Lauren.
