2. President of the largest gas company? 

3. President of the New York stock Exchange?

4. Greatest wheat speculator? 

5. President of the Bank of International Settlement?

However, 

 In that same year, 1923, the PGA Champion and the winner of the most important golf tournament, The US Open, was 

Gene Sarazen.

What became of him? 

He played golf until he was 92, and died in 1999 at the age of 95. 

He was financially secure at the time of his death. 

The Moral:

Stuff work. Play golf.
