Sir David Attenborough — 1926

A British broadcaster and natural historian, Sir David Attenborough, has used his gifted voice to make millions of dollars. Since he has a calm and pleasing voice, it compelled more viewers for his show, Planet Earth, even though they weren’t much into documentaries.

For many years, Attenborough has worked at BBC. In fact, he has even served as a senior manager for the network. Generally, a position like that would require extensive qualifications, but Attenborough reached the stars by mastering his writing and presentation skills. He hasn’t retired at 94 and recently gave us David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet.
