# 1. Dr. Herman Ostrow
Would you believe me when I say this man donated $ 35 million to the college where he learned dentistry?
$ 35 million !!!!!
A lifelong resident of Los Angeles, Ostrow was born in East Los Angeles and grew up in the Belvedere neighborhood, graduating from James A. Garfield High School. After receiving his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from USC in 1945, he served his country in the U.S. Army Dental Corps before returning to Los Angeles to treat patients in private practice.
He practiced dentistry full- and part-time for 17 years before entering the Los Angeles construction and real estate market. In his spare time, he greatly enjoyed collecting and cultivating rare fruit trees in the hillside orchard behind his Beverly Hills home.
It was a 2009 visit to the Griffith Observatory, where he saw how private gifts helped a beloved educational institution grow and develop, which served as the inspiration for his historic gift to the School of Dentistry. In a ceremony on January 20, 2010, the University announced his unprecedented gift of $35 million to name the School – the largest gift ever made by an individual to a dental school.
“I’m proud to give my support and my name to the USC School of Dentistry, an institution with a well-earned reputation for excellence,” he said of his gift. “I am thrilled that my legacy will provide tomorrow’s talented professionals with opportunities to achieve great successes. This is the best thing I’ve ever done; it’s the right thing to do.”
Dr. Herman Ostrow, a 1945 graduate of the Ostrow School of Dentistry and the benefactor whose name the School shares, passed away on Saturday, April 23, 2011. He was 88.

(CEO and President of Ultradent)
Dr. Dan is one of the richest & influential dentists at the world level. He has created a dental empire. He started his company from his home and from there it has grown into a multibillion-dollar dental products company.
He is the President & CEO of Ultradent Dental & Health Products. He started his career as any other dentist. He was always in search of new innovative things to improve dental treatment and benefit consumers.
He was the first to develop a tooth whitening agent in his barn and marketed it well and amassed a fortune in the initial years.
As a young dentist, Dr. Fischer realized that rapid, profound hemostasis was imperative for quality operative dentistry. Because there were no products on the market that predictably controlled the bleeding and sulcular fluid, he developed one. Considered one of Ultradent’s flagship products, Astringedent® and later Viscostat®, resulted from Dr. Fischer’s insight, determination, and willingness to work after hours— using his own blood to test his efforts — to produce exactly what he felt the market needed.

meet Emmet “O’ Neil – Not a dentist but yet a dental entrepreneur with high-quality dental spas and sets ups all over England, Scotland & Ireland
#6.Emmet O’Neill
The Smiles clinics are open seven days a week, 8 am to 8 pm on weekdays, allowing people to come after work. Pricing is very transparent and Smiles Dental recently launched a cloud computing platform that allows patients to log in and view their x-rays and charts, free of charge.
Emmet O’Neill is technically not a dentist. But still, he is related to the world of dentistry as he is the owner of one of the biggest dental chains in the world.
Net Worth: 90 million $
Located and based in Ireland, O Neill got his start in the dental world in 2005 when he walked into his orthodontist’s office and requested to have his teeth whitened. The orthodontist told him that he wasn’t able to provide such a service, and O Neill saw a niche market that he could enter. Tooth whitening services were rare in the UK at the time, so with an entrepreneurial spirit, O Neill hightailed it to the U.S. and proceeded to learn everything he could about the procedure.
He then opened his first clinic, Smiles Dental, in Ireland, which has blossomed into a chain of 17 clinics. Recently, O Neill also acquired James Hull Associates, along with its 50 practices. The solid reputation that JHA has dentally will certainly be a boon to his expanding brand.
Just have a look at the pictures of this chain of clinics. Five-star establishments with patient-friendly pricing
Just Wow! Now that’s talent and style.
We all young dentists should always be smart as Mr. Emmet and grab opportunities.
In 2014, Emmet O’ Neil sold Smile Dental to Oasis Dental Group UK for a Whooping 30 Million Pounds (36 Million Euros).
Mr. O’Neill and Smiles’ existing management team will remain with the company following the sale. The deal gives Oasis, the UK’s largest private dentist group and a major provider for the NHS, access to the Irish market.

How Can you become a Rich & Successful Dentist Like the Ones we Saw in this Post?
So you need to know that dentistry also can produce millionaires and billionaires. In fact, Forbes in their top 10 highest paying jobs list placed dentistry in the top place for the years 2011, 12, 14.
So what Dentists from Asian Countries?
For example, what is the situation in 2 countries with a combined population of 3 billion?
India & China
In India also there are many dentists who are extremely rich in their own rights. Yes, lately dentistry has been getting a negative name as it has become more struggling for new dental graduates. But still, as per the research by DentalOrg.com in all the major cities, most dentists are doing moderately well to very well and leading a comfortable lifestyle. But again this is subjective and varies from one place to another.
Image: www.svdentalclinic.com
The idea is – dentistry is still a good career option taking account of the booming population. But in the current times, a fresh graduate has to be more meticulous and planned
Unlike the previous generation Asian dentists who after dental graduation just joined a college or started a dental clinic and waited for it to click. (and it eventually did click as dentists were few in number), the present-day young dentists have no such luxury.
The young dentists must be ready to slog it out with an entrepreneurial mindset, just like the Top 10 richest dentists on the list did.
Soon we will come out with a second list of Super Rich Dentists in the World
What can you learn from all super-rich dentists?
Any fresh graduate has to compete with the older generation dentists. But we should always remember that nothing is impossible if we keep working with a proper plan towards improvement without being paranoid about the so-called success.
Once you get to that point where you feel that you are earning enough,
all that matters is if you are satisfied with life or not.
