"I didn't give them anything, even when they were little,"says Wojcicki, who was interviewed at the summit by Randall Lane,Wojcicki is an author and award-winning teacher.Her child-rearing model is TRICK: trust, respect, independence, collaboration and kindness. She says that her daughters were never afraid to tell her anything, and they were empowered from an early age to make their own money and spend it however they thought they needed to.

She realized that her success could buoy her family's luck, and she went on to earn a graduate degree in journalism from the University of California, Berkeley. And, when it came time to become a mother herself, she resolved to do things differently—which she notes can be tough.
