Aaron Levie yêu món mì Ý đóng hộp. Anh ấy sống ở trong một căn hộ nhỏ. Ở tuổi 27, đồ vật nhiều tiền nhất của anh ấy chính là chiếc điện thoại thông mình. Nếu bạn gặp anh ấy, bạn sẽ không nhận ra anh ấy là triệu phú. Tuy nhiên là một nhà đồng sáng lập và giám đốc điều hành của Box, một công ty IT thành công, anh ấy đáng giá 100 triệu đô la Mỹ. Anh ấy yêu công việc của mình và làm việc chăm chỉ. Hầu hết mọi ngày, anh ấy không rời cơ quan cho đến đêm muộn.
Levie và bạn của anh ấy Dylan Smith bắt đầu Box vào năm 2005, khi còn ở đại học, Nó đem đến một cách tốt hơn để lưu trữ dữ liệu, lưu trữ đám mây.
Giống như những công việc kinh doanh mới đầu khác, ban đầu Box không đem lại được nhiều thu nhập. Khi mới mắt đầu, Levie và Smith đã tìm kiếm kinh phí, nhưng không tìm được bất cứ nhà đầu tư nào. Quay lại năm 2005 thì việc lưu trữ đám mây vẫn là một điều mới mẻ. Với lí do đó, không ai muốn mạo hiểm cho họ mượn tiền. Sau đó, một doanh nhân giàu có tên là Mark Cuban đã đồng ý rót tiền cho Box. Sau đó, Box phát triển nhanh chóng và có nhiều hợp đồng với nhiều công ty lớn của Mỹ.
Bây giờ, Box đã phát triển rất nhiều và có lợi nhuận, khiến Levie trở thành triệu phú. Nhiều người cùng độ tuổi anh ấy sẽ có một lối sống xa hoa nếu họ có thật nhiều tiền. Nhưng Level nói điều đó không khiến anh quan tâm. “Chắc chắn là tôi không có hứng thú với tiền.” Anh ấy chỉ đi đến những nhà hàng đắt tiền nếu vị khách hàng quan trong muốn ăn ở đó. Nếu không thì anh ấy sẽ gặp mặt ăn trưa ở quầy bơ gơ. “Và tôi vẫn thích món mì Ý đóng hộp. Tôi sẽ rất vui vẻ nếu ăn nó mỗi ngày.”
