Hi evoiotis21

Together they are worth 200 million and now they have been jointly named "entrepreneur of the year". It's an inspirational tale; yet, despite his wealth and this award, he remains modest about his success. He says, "We are very pleased and very surprised to have been given this kind of recognition."
