    Billionaire Terry Gou, Foxconn CEO: I Have No Idea How Much Money I Have, 'I'm Working For Society' →

    Terry Gou Foxconn CEO

    Though the idea of Taiwan’s richest person not knowing how much money he makes seems a bit absurd, this below passage below from William Alden at HuffPo is perhaps shockingly not so:

Author Chang Tien-wen, who wrote a book about Gou, said “Steve Jobs’ achievements wouldn’t be possible without Terry.” His factory in Longhua [China] makes 137,000 iPhones each day, or, to put it in more startling terms, about 90 a minute.
