It would be hard to imagine a billionaire’s son choosing to ignore an academic or business path I life but rather he chooses to follow a path that is hard to imagine. That was the case with Osama Bin Laden whose father was a billionaire. Instead of following in his father’s footsteps, Osama chose to become one of the most notorious terrorists and lead one of the largest terrorist groups, Al Qaeda.
