“I remember running into Oprah one or two days after that (the award), she said, ‘You don’t want to be president.

“I’ll definitely be a billionaire by that time (not that it’s a reason someone should become president) but it’s to say that around that time I was about $50 million in debt and I knew I had the confidence to turn that around.”
