These 10 rich nerds on this list had a dream and followed every step to achieve that dream and in turn they became billionaires essentially overnight. Some said their ideas were too far-fetched to be a reality, but the people on this list didn’t listen to the haters but listened to their inner hustle to make their dreams their reality.

Not only did these entrepreneurs start from the bottom (insert the rest of Drake’s line here) but they were able to brand themselves and companies as one of the top companies in their respected tech field. There are dozens maybe hundreds of stories with people turning their love of computers and the internet into mega companies or like the people on this list billionaires .
