News Corporation Australia (April 27) -- Self-made billionaire Shahid Khan, an Illinois alumnus, is often called the face of the American Dream. The son of a Pakistan construction worker, he arrived in the U.S. in the 1960s at age 16 with just $500 to his name – and now commands a global business empire. He’s the man behind a $1.8 billion plan to buy the home of English football, Wembley Stadium, and turn it into an NFL home ground in London.
