Why not simply try your best to be born into a rich family?
That was my first mistake that I still haven't financially recovered from.
I'm in my 40s now. Is it too late to do this?
How do you feel about reincarnation ?
You can look into adoption. I'm sure there are plenty of billionaires who are looking to adopt a 40 year old boy (or a girl)
And Cuban is fond of saying that anyone building wealth from nothing who tells you luck wasn’t involved is lying.
There are 13 million Cubans which one said this?
The Cuban duhhh, we all know that Cuban.
Lol kidding aside, if you didn't know him Mark Cuban is a real person, he's a billionaire or at least super super rich.
You're way of base here.
It's a talking cigar.
Cuban is an idiot as well to be fair. Even if he was being based here.
Pretty sure that the 3 comma club dude in Silicon Valley is based on Cuban.
Exactly, you need to do four things in order to become rich:
- Do NOT pay taxes; taxes are only for poor people; be proactive.
- Use your tax money to ~~bribe~~ lobby politicians into help you become richer.
- Abuse your employees and your providers; squeeze them like you were a baddie from Dune.
- Be a pillar of the community, which means paying a PR agency to boost your image.
Or at least that's what I learned from the rich.
That's not how you become rich-er. To become rich in the first place, you need to try real hard to be born rich, or be one of the four people per generation that get stupid lucky.
The important part is once you're rich, claim it was due hard work and perseverance only.
Rather than agreeing to lower pay and poor working conditions, why not demand better by using your father's influence as the head of a top fortune company to simply buy out your workplace and skim the payroll of your fellow workers into your own account.
Yeah, I never thought of doing that. Now i know what I've been doing wrong. Your coworkers hate this one simple trick to becoming a millionaire.
Making coffee at home while I collect a paycheck from one of seven different no-show jobs.
It’s certainly possible to earn yourself into being a millionaire without fraud. You need more than a million dollars just to retire in the US.
Billionaires are another story entirely.
It’s certainly possible to become a millionaire without committing any fraud - you just have to start as a billionaire first.
If you are given/get/earn $51,000 and you invest that at a 7% return when you are 21 and never save a single extra penny, at age 65 you will have $1,001,051.44.
I'm not suggesting everyone can come up with $51k at 21. This is just illustrating that the path to being a millionaire is can be more about how early you start saving rather that how much. If you start saving much later, you have to save much MUCH more to reach $1m.
More realistic example for most:
At age 18 start investing 200 per month at 8% return. At age 63 you have over million dollars. If your parents invested the 200/month for you for the first 18 years you were alive, you'll be a millionaire at age 45.
Getting a little interest free loan of a few million from your family also helps.
I don't have enough up votes for this.
As someone who doesn't make coffee at home, I guess it's the combination of both
Downvoting because of the blue checkmark.
Sorry for being so pedantic, but I don’t want to support Twitter’s pay-for-engagement system, or anything about Twitter at all, even indirectly through a screenshot.
Keep in mind this tweet is probably old enough to rent a car.
In a few years it should be able to drink.
You're such a activist!
That screenshot is so old, it predates the Musk takeover
