As technology pervades into our daily lives, entrepreneurs whose efforts led to such advancements are increasingly being viewed as revered figures. Becoming a tech entrepreneur though is far from easy - one must pour time, money, knowledge and effort into one's idea. And even when the creation is finally unveiled, the entrepreneur still has to hope that it will be successful to justify the effort put into it. The truly successful entrepreneurs are therefore, those who not only came up with a visionary idea, but also relished the challenge of turning it into reality. Naturally, this risk-taking and never-say-die attitude have allowed many of these entrepreneurs to become sources of inspiration to the general public. Here is a list of the most well-known tech entrepreneurs. Who do you feel has inspired you the most? Rank this list to let us know!

Sir Richard Charles Nicholas Branson (born 18 July 1950) is an English business magnate, investor and philanthropist. He founded the Virgin Group, which controls more than 400 companies. Branson expressed his desire to become an entrepreneur at a young age. His first business venture, at the age of 16, was a magazine called Student. In 1970, he set up a mail-order record business. He opened a chain of record stores, Virgin Records—later known as Virgin Megastores—in 1972. Branson's Virgin brand grew rapidly during the 1980s, as he set up Virgin Atlantic airline and expanded the Virgin Records music label. In March 2000, Branson was knighted at Buckingham Palace for "services to entrepreneurship". For his work in retail, music and transport (with interests in land, air, sea and space travel), his taste for adventure, and for his humanitarian work, he became a prominent figure. In 2002, he was named in the BBC's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. In 2004, he founded spaceflight corporation Virgin Galactic, based at Mojave Air and Space Port, noted for the SpaceShipOne and SpaceShip Two projects. In November 2017, Forbes listed Branson's estimated net worth at $5.1 billion.
