One world''s richest and best-known people in his day, Henry Ford was the founder of Ford Motor Company and a pioneering innovator of mass production.

For the time, Ford awarded high wages to his workers despite his driving commitment towards reducing costs, which he did instead through the channels of business and technological innovation. Ford''s vision held consumerism as a cornerstone of global peace and prosperity. In spite of not believing in accountants, Ford amassed an enormous wealth, most of which he left to the Ford Foundation.
