Hey everyone,
So Egor emailed me this cool write-up on Forbes about a study on Billionaire traits. Forbes “studied” 657 self-made billionaires to come up with commonalities between them. The article can be found here: http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home/article/106866/Billionaire-Clusters Here’s my take on the article:
“First, a significant percentage of billionaires had parents with a high aptitude for math. The ability to crunch numbers is crucial to becoming a billionaire, and mathematical prowess is hereditary”
Yes, usually being able to count is important, so is being able to spell and read. It’s also great to be able to actually count the money you roll around in.
“Consistent with the rest of the population, more American billionaires were born in the fall than in any other season. However, relatively few billionaires were born in December, traditionally the month with the eighth highest birth rate. This anomaly holds true among billionaires in the U.S. and abroad.”
All of you born in December, might as well give up now. Don’t complete high school and don’t even try going to college. It’s all over for you. Don’t’ worry, Billionaires always need people to pick up after their children and mow their lawn.
“More than 20% of the 292 of the self-made American billionaires on the most recent list of the World’s Billionaires have either never started or never completed college. This is especially true of those destined for careers as technology entrepreneurs: Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Michael Dell, Larry Ellison, and Theodore Waitt.”
Just like we said! College? Psh, who needs it? A B.A. isn’t even worth it’s weight anymore, everyone has one! Plus, the debt you end up being in is RIDICULOUS! Might as well just go on walfare, be a bum and live off the system (ie the Billionares).
“Billionaires who derive their fortunes from finance make up one of the most highly educated sub-groups: More than 55% of them have graduate degrees. Nearly 90% of those with M.B.A.s obtained their master’s degree from one of three Ivy League schools: Harvard, Columbia or U. Penn’s Wharton School of Business.”
Didn’t you just say that most Billionaires never started or completed college? We are confused, please be consistent.. This is important! We are education the masses here!
“Several billionaires suffered a bitter professional setback early in their careers that heightened their fear of failer.”
If your money making schemes fail and you get banned from Ebay, pick yourself up and try again!
“Several current and former billionaires rounded out their Yale careers as members of Skull and Bones, the secret society portrayed with enigmatic relish by Hollywood in movies like The Skulls and W. Among those who were inducted: investor Edward Lampert, Blackstone co-founder Steven Schwarzman, and FedEx founder Frederick Smith.”
That’s right, you heard it! Gangs are the way to making big money, no wonder police are trying to crack down.. Not everyone can be a Billionaire, of course! Forget the gang crackdown.. Join ‘dem gangs
To you becoming a Billionaire
Salute
Or shall I say
Absolutely
