Who's the most successful Korean American?
 

In your opinion, of course, who is the most successful Korean American?

(No mix blooded Korean Americans, athletics who came over to play in America, etc..)

We have several women golfers, some congressmen, female/gay comedian, news anchorman, Lee Chul Soo, Robert C. Kim (the "Korean Spy"), business men (founder of Wang Labs?), .... What is your choice and why?

I think Korean women golfers are more Korean Australian (whatever the term they are...) than Korean americans.

I was wondering Margaret Cho but i'm not even sure if she's Korean American.

Isn't there some korean american billionaire living in the US? He's supposed to have a net worth of about 1.7 billion. And no, I'm not talking about Moon Sung-Myung ;)

Moon is hugely successful financially. I forgot about that.

Johnny Yoon was pretty successful as comedian career goes. Margaret Cho has a decent career but I don't like her act.
