"It's become a tradition and creates quite a stir." Thompson said in a press release. "I managed to get through 75 with no problems this time so we'll have to see how long the tradition continues…I don't know if I'll be able to do 100 at 100 but I hope I'm around to try."

Thompson, who has a net worth of $1.4 billion, started Crown Worldwide in 1965. At that time it was known as Transport Services International. Now, the company has offices in 60 countries and is approaching its 50th anniversary in February.
