Entrepreneur

The Resume

    (July 19, 1953- )
    Owns Starbucks and NBA's Seattle Supersonics

Why he might be annoying:

    His Starbucks idea (1987) stems from European coffee culture.
    His company mascot, a mermaid, is topless and sports an immodest pose with her legs that appear as fins.
    Although Schultz did not really intend for this to happen, Starbucks has become a symbol of excessive consumerism with people spending up to five dollars for a drink they can make for a lot less money at home.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was raised in a housing project in Brooklyn.
    Millions of people love Starbucks Coffee.
    Starbucks has become a case study for successful businesses.
    He was determined to increase NBA championship fan support in Seattle.
    A football scholarship enabled him to attend a university.
    He paid $250 million for the Seattle Supersonics.
    Providing his Starbucks employees with health care & stock option benefits is a high priority because his dad never had benefits.
    His goal was to form a company people could respect, something he wished his dad could have had.
    He owns the rights to one of the most recognizable logo's (Starbucks).
    His stores provide high-speed wireless internet access as means to make Starbucks more customer friendly.
