The year is 1957, at DeWitt Clinton High School, a young boy is asked about his life goal in his yearbook. "Millionaire", he mentioned! This story is of an American boy, who, after growing up in an impoverished Bronx neighborhood, went from rags to riches, amassing a $7 billion fortune.

Despite his humble beginnings, he was always ambitious. The army veteran and former clerk made his fortune through his Polo clothing line, which he founded in 1968. So, who is this man behind the fashion house fortune?

#RalphLauren , both the man & the brand, is the true rags-to-riches American Dream fable, beginning with rags that were then made into ties.

Lauren was the constant creative force behind the fashion house he started, literally "out of a drawer" in a cramped space in the Empire State Building, for 48 years.
