One is a billionaire, the other a millionaire. One has 6 kids, the other none. One is white, the other is black. One speaks only English, the other speaks many languages (including African languages.) One's natural talent took him to America to be employed, the other's 'thinking out of the box' made him an employer. The only thing they have in common is that they both love hot white women!
