Never heard of Harold Hamm? Not a common everyday household name, but he is #78 on the Forbes list of the worlds billionaires.
In a fascinating interview done on CNBC's Squawk Box early this morning, June 3, 2012, we learned that he started
working at 18, driving an oil truck.
In 1967, at age 22, he started his own oil company, Continental Resources (CLR), and is now President and CEO of the company he founded. The stock is selling for around $71 a share as of this moring, June 3, 2012.
His company controls the development of the Bakken Oil Fields, which pumps approximately 88,000 barrels a day!
This is what you call an American success story. He says he worked long hours seven days a week for many years, something many of our young people today would never consider.
