Known for being a scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, businessman or rich guy?
Mathematicians are not scientists?
I wouldn't automatically nest mathematicians under scientists. But maybe I'm wrong?

Mathematics and the sciences are connected, but not the same thing exactly.

As we used to say in college, "Biology is chemistry, chemistry is physics, physics is math, and math is evil."

Is the company he's associate with a technology company?
If not, I'll make my free guess Warren Buffet.

I would argue that Warren Buffet is "associated with politics". He was an advisor to Arnold Schwarzenegger as Governor of California, he made huge financial contributions to Barack Obama and gave speeches in support. And he very publicly repeatedly challenged Donald Trump over his tax returns.

13. Yes, I would call the company in question a tech company. No free guess used up.

There's seven questions left, plenty of time to figure it out.

I think it's arguable, but I disagree. Most people would not say Buffet is associated with politics, and the opening paragraphs of his Wikipedia page doesn't mention politics at all. Or we could go full Balki and decide that anyone who has voted is associated with politics.

The “Full Balki is simply asking clear, objective questions and trying to make sure you are asked clear, objective questions, so we don’t have to argue about what is ruled in and out. But I agree that the Full Balki would help solve this issue.
