Bram van Leeuwen
Abraham "Bram" van Leeuwen, also known as Prince of Lignac (Rotterdam, 18 July 1918 - Málaga, 27 May 2001) was a Dutch businessman and high-profile millionaire.
==Poor start==
Van Leeuwen grew up in Rotterdam under impoverished circumstances. The humiliation that he and only just one other kid had to borrow his schoolbooks made a big impression on him. This memory was one of the reasons Van Leeuwen promised himself to become rich and successful in life. He founded NTI: Nederlands Talen Instituut, one of the first language training companies. Just before and during World War II Van Leeuwen wrote an English training course - which was in great demand at that time. To receive permission from the German occupiers to start his company he was forced to develop a German course as well. He also founded Lecturama, a Dutch publisher specialized in collecting and (re)publishing special series and popular books and doing so making these publications obtainable for the mass market.〔short info on () on companies website〕 After the war Van Leeuwen continued starting companies.
Van Leeuwen sold his companies at the best time. The NTI and Lecturama were sold to the Dutch Vendex concern in the 1970s for 450 million Dutch guilders and made him his huge fortune.〔De Telegraaf website about the death of the (Prince of Lignac ), visited 16 July 2008〕
