| 520 | |a You've never met a multimillionaire like Howard Jonas. An enterprising kid from the Bronx, Howard had one simple - but smart - idea that revolutionized international telecommunications. He pioneered what is now an over-a-billion-dollar-a-year industry, successfully fought off AT & Ts aggressive attempts to pull the plug on his operation - then took his own start-up company public, to net over $100 million for himself. And it all began with a hot dog stand, as Jones relates in this effervescent account of how he became the millionaire next door. | ||
| 520 | 8 | |a From hot dogs Howard moved on to travel brochure distribution, business-to-business directories, mail-order bonsai Christmas trees, and soon ran one of the country's largest direct mail businesses out of his dorm room at Harvard. When one of his employees moved overseas, he backed into the international telephone call-back business - and changed the face of worldwide telecommunications by saving people millions of dollars in international phone calls (and making a small fortune for himself). | |
