2. John Stumpf

Until John got married, he shared a room with his brothers. He grew up as one of 11 children on a dairy and poultry farm in Minnesota, as his father was a diary farmer. During his high school years, his grades were very bad and his parents also did not have enough money. So, after he graduated he ended up working as a bread maker.

He finally got admission into St. Cloud University. Then he worked as a repossession agent at First Bank in St. Paul, Minnesota. That's what inspired him to receive his MBA at the University of Minnesota. John Stumpf became the Chairman for Wells Fargo & Company in January 2010. He also became the CEO for the same in 2007.
