Samuel E. Wyly, known as Sam Wyly (born October 4, 1934), is an American entrepreneur and businessman, author, philanthropist, and major contributor to conservative campaigns and candidates. In 2006, Forbes magazine estimated his net worth at $1.1 billion. His older brother, Charles Wyly, Jr., had about half his wealth; the two brothers were close with their business affairs, and were often referred to as the "Wyly brothers". Wyly's memoir, 1,000 Dollars & an Idea: Entrepreneur to Billionaire, was published in September 2008. He is of Scots, Irish, Welsh and English descent. His forebears came to America in the 1600s, 1700s and 1800s. His new book is titled The Immigrant Spirit: How Newcomers Enrich America.
Wyly was born in Lake Providence, which Mark Twain described in Life on the Mississippi as, “the first truly southern” town as you go downriver. It is the parish seat of East Carroll Parish in northeastern Louisiana and one of the poorest communities in the United States. He began working at an early age, helping his father, Charles Wyly, Sr., and mother, Flora Wyly, to publish a weekly newspaper, The Delhi Dispatch in Richland Parish. He sold advertising, wrote stories, folded and addressed the finished papers, and cleaned the printing presses. In the summer, he rough necked in the Delhi Oil Field.

In his fast-paced, fascinating, and candid memoir, Wyly reveals the thought processes, relationships, and financial machinations behind the building of his diverse businesses over the last four decades.
Sam Wyly is a "serial entrepreneur," observed Milken. Wyly's story began with just $1,000 of his own savings, which he used to found University Computing in 1963. When he took the company public two years later, it made him a millionaire before age 30 — not bad for the son of a Louisiana cotton farmer.
Sam Wyly recalls his experience at Dealey Plaza during John F. Kennedy's assassination on November 22, 1963.
