Thanks for the recommendations! As soon as I can I will investigate where to get those books, because I only read books on entrepreneurs, business, taxes, etc., as they are the only ones that Google has recommended to me, and let's just say that those don't help as much as they say they do. Note: I am proud to have read some books by the authors you mention.
A limitation on reading about many of the modern internet entrepreneurs is that no one can really explain why someone's idea goes viral and others do not.
For every Facebook, etc. there are an estimated 10,000 other similar ideas that people had to accomplish the same thing - that did not get any traction or died along the way.
So huge internet success is mostly luck - and luck cannot be taught. On the other hand: Solid profitable internet (or non-internet) business success is almost always the result of applying the same basic set of principals - which can be taught.
I find that reading more historical biographies to be more informative as the luck factor of going viral did not exist back then.
You may also appreciate: "The Master-key To Riches" by Napoleon Hill as its about the last book that pulls together all the things Napoleon Hill learned about success. I have always fount that the Chapter on the 12 riches of life to make a big impression on people (money is only part of the last one).
Another one: "Emotional Intelligence" by Daniel Goleman. People are most often paid based on their ability to relate and work with other people (Their EQ) and not their IQ.
