If you are the most successful person in your family, then please also list the second most successful person!
Who is the most successful person in your family?
-
Well, my brother and I are both high school teachers. My hubs is a risk anaylst. Brother-in-law is an accountant. We're all successful! Very blessed!
-
Depends what kind of success. If financially, then my inlaws.
-
It depends on what you consider successful....
My middle sister is most successful money wise. I am most successful family wise. I am the only one married out of the 3 of us, and the only one with kids
Thats my kind of success!
-
My father-in-law recently retired as an actuarial vice president at a very very big insurance company, so he's certainly the most successful. The rest of the people we're related to are just regular, averagely successful people
-
Financially my uncle (he's a self made millionaire).
We both come from poor to middle class families, so we're financially "very successful" in the opinion of most family members and just "doing ok" in our own opinion.
-
My cousin is an actor/writer. He was on The League and is currently filming a movie with Sasha Baron Cohen so I would probably say him.
-
Hurmm.. Lots of successful people in my family now. FIL was CEO of huge huge company. Products used by everyone in America. Middle sister is a surgeon. Hubs and twin have successful businesses. I'd say FIl, followed closely by sister.
-
My brother is the most successful. He's a fancy lawyer doing Intellectual Property work for major brands in NYC. (He also won a chunk of money from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? back in it's heyday.)
My dad is well-respected in his field of public works. My mom is well-respected in her field of Christian Education.
I've got a wonderful marriage and a baby on the way.
Everyone's a winner! -
Financially my husband is the most successful. Charitably, I'm the most successful. For getting whatever he wants, Liam is the most successful.
-
My dad is really successful. He's been at the same job for 29 years doing nuclear engineering. I'm a teacher so I may not make a ton of money, but I feel successful because I feel like I really impact children's lives.
I bet my little sister is going to be successful too. She is in college majoring in education too. She's really smart (valedictorian in her high school class of 300) and super motivated.
-
My uncle is the most successful professionally - in Europe, he's a very well known OBGYN to the "stars" and makes millions every year. My aunt (his ex-wife and my godmother) is a very well known actress in Europe - she was the star of a European version of "ER", which ran for years on TV. They were often photographed and appeared in the equivalent of US Weekly, etc.
In my immediate family, my brother and SIL are cardiologists. My dad is an ER doc. I run my own PR consultancy. My hubs works for a major financial institution doing risk consulting.
I'm proud of all we do!
-
I have a uncle that played in the NFL and my cousin is Blair Underwood.
-
@Miss Adia: wow! I had to google blair underwood, but crazy!
He's hot. <3'd him on sex and the city 
-
I think my dad is the most successful in my family. I think my mil would be second and my husband would be third.
-
There's a lot of good, regular-person success all over my family, but I always think of my dad as the quintessential american dream-- he got my mom to marry him in Korea almost on a whim, whisked her to America with almost no money, went to junior college (he had completed college in Korea already) and eventually peaked out as a VP at State Street about 25 years later. The recession hit and he got knocked down for a few years, but now he's working in consulting and hopefully will make it to retirement comfortably enough.

I think that really depends on your definition of success... financially I know it's not the husbone & I, but in other ways, it's really hard to say. neither his brother & his wife nor his sister are able to have children for unrelated reasons - does that make us more "successful" than they are that by chance it happened to work out for us?
or career-wise, how do you compare things? dh is self-employed & doing well, his brother is fairly high-ranking in the navy & his sister is a dr. who is doing the best with their careers? I would say that they've all been pretty successful, albeit in different ways.
or, my mom. she used to be a drug addict & has been clean now for the past 8 years, gotten a job & gotten her life back on track. if that's not a success story, I don't know what is, but would most people consider her the "most" successful? I doubt it, but I'd rather have her where she is now & be here than have any of the money or career accolades that my in-laws do. so it's really hard to say, I think. too many variables & personal definitions.
sorry for the novella
Thats my kind of success!
