"My Dog Spot"

His job is selling cars. But just about everyone who lived in California over the last half-century knows that. Cal Worthington, whose "My Dog Spot" commercials made him one of the most famous auto salesmen in history, has owned 27 dealerships and sold more than 1 million cars by his reckoning in his career.

Now 89, he still owns four dealerships, 10 office buildings, two shopping centers, a 10,000-acre ranch, television studio, advertising agency and finance company. He also has a 9-year-old son.

"I get too bored if I don't have something to do," he said.
