I've always known about Elon Musk and Bill Gates own. Warren Buffett's own is the most surprising for me. 1 Like

You're right. It's no secret but what makes them respected is their dedication towards success. Elon Musk had failed businesses also. The journey to success is not always smooth but the zeal is the key, coupled with an enabling environment. I'm glad he left South Africa for the States. 21 Likes |

So many factors come into consideration. The least of them is their backgrounds, while the most is what they had and how they worked it to this present state. None of them parents was or is a billionaire... Everyone cannot be a billionaire in their life time. But if we work diligently and with zeal with what we have, maybe someday, our child, grandchild or even great-grandchild will be, cos they most likely gonna have this "same background" ... 6 Likes 1 Share |

You have a point. Only that their doggedness and need to outdo their wealthy or well-placed benefactors made the difference. 3 Likes |

Interesting, but it doesn't really diminish their hard work, only thing was that they had access to more capital, connections and less risk compared to other billionaires. I think it's impressive that they've still managed to build all that success, they were wise and used all the benefits to their advantage. 8 Likes 1 Share |

and also I see news about how all this billionaires are pure evil cause they are stacking wealth and avoiding taxes I just shake my head and laugh, this what happens when you don't know the basics of how stock market works, their wealth are mostly in stocks especially Elon musk if the stock appreciate their net worth appreciate if it depreciates their net worth depreciates too, so STFU! go and learn how to invest in stocks and stop complaining. |

MufasaLion: I have read and watched videos of successful entrepreneurs who are billionaires and one thing most of them have in common, they didn't make it big in their first time in their entrepreneurial journey, they have several failed businesses before they finally hit the jackpot. 2 Likes |

I understand you op, but believe me, there are more people that has more opportunities and was left with more fortunes that these guys that has made it that big but they couldn't maintain the wealth or invest wisely and the whole fortune fizzled out eventually and there name never heard. It's not about being left with a fortune or opportunities and connect..the question is, can u invest wisely and maintain your wealth, ?? That's what these guys have done differently. |

MufasaLion: It is quite easy to try again after failures when there are resources at disposal. For some, it takes them ages to get the resources, when they fail, they may not get to try again, some have resources to try again almost immediately. It is not that the later are more deducated to success than the former. 3 Likes |
