Is there such a thing as a low key legend, especially in business? I assume there might be, because i'm sure there are thousands of mega millionaires with hundreds of millions of dollars whose names and faces we don't even recognize---or i could be wrong.
but when i mean legend i mean, someone who can be considered an all time great with certain characteristics. i can't do a good job of explaining what type of business man I am trying to see exists, so let me describe someone who is more describable to me to be able to give a clear and sound example.
for example, in the sport of basketball, my childhood idol, Kobe Bryant is considered an all time great. according to many basketball gurus, he is arguably the best basketball player and human to touch a basketball of all time so far, but the general population does not believe so. reasons being why he is number 1-- he has everything from intangibles to accomplishments and stats that gauge how effective he was in playoffs and championship runs to solidify himself into the top 10 of all time.
aside from that, Kobe is an artist. his style was so advanced and cutting edge/far ahead of our/his time (in the evolution of basketball that is), that he is often criticized for style of play (shot selection), as were many artists in different industries and people who expanded or found something new. he also sacrificed more than any player in the history of the NBA such as scoring titles (even though he is easily the number 1 scorer of all time) MVP titles, and FMVP, just so he can collect what matters most, but is overlooked by fans----Championship Rings.
with that said, when Kobe retires, it's very safe to say he will be admired a lot more---but that's the catch, he is FAMOUS WORLDWIDE and in Asian countries, he is LITERALLY a basketball demi-god (not even kidding, he is literally a greek basketball god to those people)
now, it is possible for a business tycoon to have all those qualities and be able to have a nice quiet private life?
qualities such as being advanced, having a new style that everyone criticizes, while having a sound and mastered fundamental business skills, and last but not least, being the best at what you do.
are there legends out there, that we walk past, hold the door for, make brief eye contact, in our daily lives that we don't even recognize?
