Quote

One of my motivations in life is to be a billionaire.

I want to be remembered as the biggest philanthropist in Turkey.

I don't feel like a wealthy person. Other people think of me as a wealthy person, but I don't. I feel the same as when I was a fifth-year associate trying to make partner at Lehman Brothers. I haven't changed.

My family and I have been blessed with good fortune in the world of business. We've created quite a net worth. My children, two boys, have more money than they will ever need, and they aren't empire builders.

I have a feeling that life as a billionaire in Silicon Valley is very different than the life that you or I would lead. Unless you're a billionaire; I don't know your financial situation.

I became a millionaire overnight by signing a piece of paper. I made more money in that one second than my entire family did in their lifetime.

I never wanted to be a millionaire. I just wanted to live like one.

I would be a billionaire if I was looking to be a selfish boss. That's not me.

I think I've been a moderately good boss. I've made a lot of people extremely wealthy - I think we've created 30 millionaires.
