Sim Wong Hoo (6/14)

The founder of Creative Technology is known for being the brains behind the Super X-Fi, Sound Blaster Audio Card and ZEN portable music players. Some of us will also be familiar with the grey Chinese digital dictionary from Creative we were made to use throughout our primary and secondary school lives. Impressively, he became the youngest billionaire in Singapore at the age of 45, and was even ranked second as Asia’s businessman of the year in 2001. Earlier this year, Creative launched new headphone technology at an electronics show in Las Vegas, where it proceeded to win several awards from consumer technology media sites.
