10 CEOs with Learning Disabilities

#9 Steve Jobs

Can you imagine the Apple founder to be dyslexic? But, he was.

The disease made Steve Jobs suffer while reading. But he knew that it was not a dead-end and it could not slow down his desire to innovate a range of high-end technology products that still remain at the top even after the demise of the genius.

#10 Tommy Hilfiger

Thomas Jacob Hilfiger, the American fashion designer and founder of the premium lifestyle brand Tommy Hilfiger Corporation, had reading difficulty.

"I performed poorly at school, when I attended, that is, and was perceived as stupid because of my dyslexia. I still have trouble reading. I have to concentrate very hard at going left to right, left to right, otherwise my eye just wanders to the bottom of the page," Hilfiger once said.
 

Though this learning disability made it difficult for Hilfiger to perform well at school, it couldn’t stop him and he became the founder of the popular lifestyle brand.
