I don't know about the most brilliant. Some people I like are: James Altucher - He's a writer. He has many books and I follow his blog regularly. Simon Brushfield - He's an artist. He also has a blog. I like his art, although I really follow him for his writing. He is kind of off the wall and has interesting thoughts.
Richard Branson is one of the people I like; great leader, innovator, and an inspiration to me. He taught me how to rise above adversity and that every problem has a solution to it. Thank you Mr. Branson.
I hate the cult of personality. There are so many brilliant people around, why pick one in particular?
Jay-Z Went from selling rocks on the corner to building a massive entertainment empire and he get's some Beyonce any time he wants.
