Elon Musk vs. Jeff Bezos: Who's More Successful? Eight of the best BIZ Experiencess face off in the BIZ Experiences Bracket Madness Challenge.
In the midst of March Madness, we created our own bracket of the 64 best living, historical and fictional BIZ Experiencess ever. While we started with all sorts of silly candidates such as Lorelai Gilmore and Vito Corleone, you've narrowed the field down to a serious list of contenders.
Of the final eight, Ray Kroc is the least wealthy. The McDonald's owner was only worth $500 million at the time of his death in 1984. Back then, there were only 7,500 McDonald's locations and the golden arches franchise was worth only about $8 billion.
Today, the McDonald's franchise is worth about $100 billion.
Again: Kroc is the poorest person on this list.
There are no easy answers anymore. We don't expect anyone to get 90 percent of the vote, as Alphabet's Sergey Brin and Larry Page did when they faced off against Scarlet O'Hara. These eight people are true icons. Yet, only four can move on to the next round.
Vote for each matchup below by 4 p.m. ET on Thursday, April 6, to make your voice heard. Check the site on Friday, April 7, to see who survived and advanced to the Final 4 of the BIZ Experiences Bracket Madness Challenge.
