H. Wayne Huizenga’s father once offered his boy the kind of sage advice many parents give their children:
“You can’t make money working for somebody else.”
Huizenga, unlike many, listened. And learned.
As a result, Huizenga, who died Thursday at age 80 at his Fort Lauderdale home, became the only entrepreneur ever to launch three Fortune 500 companies: Waste Management, Blockbuster Entertainment and AutoNation. Huizenga had been battling cancer.
Huizenga was the father of both hockey and baseball in South Florida. He was the original owner of the Florida Marlins and Florida Panthers, both of which began play in 1993. Visit www.miamiherald.com for full article.
