Tech entrepreneur Darwin Deason sold his Affiliated Computer Services to Xerox in 2010 for $6.4 billion.
The day after he graduated high school, the Arkansas native moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma and got a job as a mail boy at Gulf Oil.
Deason eventually joined Dallas data-processing firm MTech; he became its CEO at age 29 after all but his division failed. He sold it in 1988.
Within days of sale, he started ACS to handle computer and other business process services for clients such as E-ZPass.
