Probable Traits of Billionaires
- Billionaires have great ideas as they think big.
- They are mostly astute, thorough in all their dealings.
- No doubt, they take calculated risks; and are able to mitigate inherent risks.
- They learn from any previous goofs. “It’s fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure,” says Bill Gates, whose total net worth of $85.6 billion makes him the richest person on Earth.
- Billionaires follow the flow of money in unravelling present/future investments with high returns.
- Most billionaires generate financial liabilities, but each debt is probably invested in a manner to maximize profit or gain.
- They are focused, diligent. They are driven by a torrid desire for wealth, great success and constant breakthrough.
- Billionaires read; and each often holds at least one academic degree. “By the age of 10, I’d read every book in the Omaha public library about investing, some twice. You need to fill your mind with various competing thoughts and decide which make sense. Then you have to jump in the water – take a small amount of money and do it yourself. Investing on paper is like reading a romance novel vs. doing something else. You’ll soon find out whether you like it. The earlier you start, the better,” says Warren Buffett, the second richest person with a total net worth of $78.9 Billion.
Warren Buffett
