Contender 31

For a guy with a passion for fishing, it’s like living next door to heaven. Dr. Howard Khani has a house in Pompano Beach, Fla., on a deep-water canal with no fixed bridges just 14 minutes by water from the Atlantic. And thanks to his unconventional schedule — he has a select group of private patients — he can take advantage of the location.
