My list includes
Thomas Edison (took him about 1,000 tries to invent the lightbulb)
Henry Ford (went bankrupt several times before becoming successful)
Oprah Winfrey (was told she was not television material)
Col. Harland Sanders (founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, and made his fortune AFTER age 65).
Thanks for your help!
Thomas
