Lots of bosses say they value their employees. Some even mean it.

And then there's Leonard Abess Jr.

After selling a majority stake in his Miami-based City National Bancshares last November, all Leonard Abess Jr did was take $60 million of his proceeds -- $60 million out of his own pocket -- and hand it to his tellers, bookkeepers, clerks, everyone on the payroll. All 399 workers on the staff received bonuses, and Leonard Abess Jr even tracked down 72 former employees so they could share in the windfall. That's a man right there, my friends. That. Is a man. America. Leonard Abess Jr.
