Felix Dennis, modern magazine pioneer
British entrepreneur and pop culture personality Felix Dennis passed away this week at age 67, the New York Times reports. A businessman with 1960s counter-culture sensibilities, Dennis is known as a pioneer of the modern magazine industry, in which he fused his taste for the sensational with instincts for incipient consumer trends. Beginning his career in the late '60s in Britain, Dennis built over time a portfolio of publications focused on music, computers, and lifestyle. Recent creations of his that may be easily recognized today are the magazine brands Maxim and PC World.
In addition to his work in the magazine publishing industry, Dennis is known for his authorship of poetry, a passion discovered in the last decade of his life, and in 2006 the publication of an entertaining and popular book on his view of earning wealth, simply entitled "How to Get Rich."
