Walter Elias Disney (1901 — 1966), who created the Mickey Mouse character and founded The Disney Land, is the best known showman in the history of entertainment; he entertained, and is still entertaining even after his death, thousands with his charters, plays, movies and Disney Parks.

Steve Jobs is often called a showman of the computer world as he knew how to present a new computer product to the world and sell it out right.

There were many showmen who made a name for themselves and to the companies they worked for, but in their private lives, only a handful of them lived as happily as the spectators they amused.
