Wayne Huizenga-- Part 2: "You Just Have To Be In the Right Place At the Right Time"

He was one of the guys everyone else watched in the business world because of his knack of getting in on the ground floors of money-making endeavors.

He built Blockbuster Entertainment into the leading video rental chain by buying competitors and cracked Forbes' list of 100 richest Americans, becoming chairman of Republic Services, one of the nation's top waste management companies and AutoNation, the nation's largest auto retailer.

For a time, he was a favorite among South Florida sports fans as he went on a spending spree and his Marlins won the World Series in the team's fifth year of existence.  (Mortifying Cub fans around the world.)  But then that turned to disdain when he dismantled the team after that season.
