Millionaire - this sounds proudly.

And the billionaires, who are turning over the sums with nine zeros, are altogether akin to the celestials.

But how to earn a billion and join a club of favorites who can afford everything that is sold for money?

This is very, very difficult and on the shoulder of a few, that's why there are so few billionaires in our country.

And yet - really, if you set yourself a specific goal and will do your best to achieve it.

So that there will be no disturbances in the style of "first making money with a billion by herself, and then teaching someone", advice will come not from me, but from people who occupy the top lines in the list of the richest people in the world.

How to earn a billion: the richest man by the version of Forbes


For my regular readers it's no secret that I like reading biographies and autobiographies of rich and successful people.

Naturally, after reading this book, money in the wallet will not be added and you will not be able to climb up the career ladder with rapid speed, but you begin to understand better what helped one or another person to earn a billion, two, three.

In addition, such examples inspire new achievements.

Within this article, I want to introduce you to the richest man in the planet of 2016 by Forbes: Bill Gates.

I think the name of the founder of Microsoft is familiar to almost everyone.

Actually, thanks to him we have a PC at home.

The story of his success is amazing, but, as for me, it should be more amazing that for the last 22 years this genius headed the list of Forbes as many as 17 times.

In fact, it can be considered a king among the rich.

Bill Gates destroys the myths about greedy billionaires, as he donates a lot of money to charity.

He has his own charitable foundation, and in other projects he is willing to participate.

I think you will be interested to know that the value of Microsoft shares is only 3% of its state, which indicates that Bill willingly participates in various projects.

He managed to earn more than one billion and keep his wealth also because he does not put eggs in one basket.

Without which you can not earn a billion?


Many psychologists have investigated the characteristics of the character of the richest people in order to understand what traits help to earn a billion.

Based on several articles I read, I compiled a list of 5 personal qualities that are common to all billionaires:

  1. Obsession.

    People who are at the top today were really obsessed with the goal of making a billion, achieving success and fame at all costs.

    Nothing could stop them on the way, often they did not do very beautiful things in the eyes of society, sometimes they crossed through friends and partners, but moved on.

  2. Bunnery.

    Naturally, the rebelliousness of those who decided to earn a billion, is not manifested in dyeing the hair in green, protesting against everything and everything and doing some antisocial behavior.

    But most modern rich people were able to succeed, because they did not follow the beaten path, but paved their way.

    They made a real revolution in a certain sphere and showed something completely new to the world.

  3. Courage.

    Do you know what impedes the development of most people?

    Fears!

    So, modern billionaires have overcome their fears.

    They stopped being afraid of collapse, failure, disapproval of society and other things.

    They fell and went up, went ahead without paying attention to obstacles and were not afraid to take risks when circumstances demanded it.

  4. How to get rid of a phobia?

  5. Workaholicism.

    First, all the billionaires just love their work.

    Secondly, they do not work 8 hours, but much more.

    Thirdly, they not only work a lot, but also find time for constant self-education and self-development.

    Their workaholics can be envied even by ants.

    If you are not ready to work and study a lot and hard, especially at first, then you will hardly earn a billion.

  6. Belief in one's own strength.

    I do not think that at least one person, included in the Forbes rating, spent a lot of time on self-doubt.

    They were convinced that sooner or later they will succeed and all the obstacles and troubles that meet on their way are temporary phenomena that are not worth much attention and nerves.

Things to do to earn a billion?


Each country dictates its requirements to those who want to earn a billion.

And it's better to follow these rules, because swimming against the current can not always be won.

So, what do you need to do in different countries to earn a billion:

  1. In the US you can earn huge money on it-technologies, investments and
    real estate trading.

    This is clear when you look at the names of American billionaires from the list of Forbes: Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffett, Donald Trump, George Soros, etc.

  2. Germans earn their capital mainly on retail trade( several owners of large supermarkets succeeded in becoming billionaires) and the automotive industry.
  3. I do not think that anyone will be surprised by the fact that in France you can earn a billion by working in the beauty and fashion industry. Among the world's richest people are the owners of the brands L'Oreal, Louis Vuitton and others.

  4. Spaniards also do not shy away from making love to people for beautiful clothes.

    For example, this year on the third line of the list Forbes managed to climb the owner of the fashion brand Zara Amancio Ortega.

  5. Asian billionaires have diverse interests: high technology, food industry, construction, manufacturing of plastic products, etc.
