Ferruccio Lamborghini was an Italian entrepreneur who founded Lamborghini, a maker of luxury sports cars, in 1963. Prior to that, he proven himself in business by starting multiple successful businesses such as Lamborghini Trattori, a company which manufactured agricultural equipment and tractors. Lamborghini Trattori was highly successful and even outgrew the sales of Massey-Ferguson and Fiat Trattori to become the best selling tractor at the time. With this success, Lamborghini was able to amass a fortune, which he then reinvested in his luxury sports car venture. Today his name is synonymous with high-end, luxury vehicles.
