Remembering Malcolm Forbes on his 100th birthday by SteveForbesCEO

On the occasion of his 100th birthday, we're publishing a series of articles about him and the very rich world he created and lived in.have been right at home in this era of social media, a time when what we call “branding” is more important than ever.
Pop’s best hire was James Michaels, who became the publication’s longtime editor and did more than anyone else to bring about’ editorial dominance and prominence.

His boldest move here: pricing the newsletter at an outlandish $35 a year, a huge amount in an economy whose nominal GDP was about 1/80 of today’s , and with production costs a small fraction of the magazine’s. The newsletter was an instant success and provided the capital to reorganize the company.
