Honorable Mention: Duff McKagan’s Meridian Rock Capital Management

As the bassist of one of the most successful bands of the last 25 years (that’d be Guns N’Roses), Duff McKagan found himself a millionaire that had no idea what the financial statements he was getting meant. That led him to enroll in a community college, then a business school. Now he’s one of the principals at Meridian Rock Capital Management, a firm that aims to help people like McKagan that are in the music industry make sense of their wealth.
