Larry Page and Sergey Brin, founders
of the popular Internet search engine Google.com, credited their years as Montessori students as a major factor behind their success.  They said going to a Montessori school taught them to be self directed and self starters.  They added that Montessori allowed them to learn to think for themselves and gave them freedom to pursue their own interests.   
 

 William Wright, an American computer game designer was educated at a local Montessori school, where he enjoyed its emphasis on creativity, problem solving, and self-motivation. Wright admitted to having been inspired to create certain elements of SimCity from his experiences in the school. Montessori taught me the joy of discovery...It showed you can become interested in pretty complex theories, like Pythagorean theory, say, by playing with blocks. It’s all about learning on your terms, rather than a teacher explaining stuff to you. SimCity comes right out of Montessori—if you give people this model for building cities, they will abstract from it principles of urban design.

His greatest success to date came as the original designer for The Sims games series which, as of 2008, is the best-selling PC game in history.

As a preschooler, Jeffrey P. Bezos displayed an unmatched single-mindedness. By his mother's account, the young Bezos got so engrossed in the details of activities at his Montessori school that teachers had to pick him up in his chair to move him to new tasks. It's a trait that goes a long way toward explaining why the company he founded, Amazon.com Inc., has survived to become the most dominant retailer on the Internet.
