Bill Bartmann is quietly world renowned as “The Billionaire Nobody Knows”. Homeless at age 14, a high-school drop out, and a member of a street gang, Bill defied all odds and was able to pull himself up by his boot straps when he didn't have any boot straps. He decided to take control of his life and took the GED exam, then put himself through college and law school. Bill may be the only high school dropout who has:

* Been named "National Entrepreneur of the Year" (Twice) by USA Today, NASDAQ, Inc. Magazine, Ernst & Young and The Kauffman Foundation.

* Been inducted into the "Entrepreneur of the Year" Hall of Fame.

* Created novel financial instruments that are still being used on Wall Street.
