Not surprised. The 'many to many' business model is just incredible. If you are an early comer in a huge market, with this kind of business model, you would break all kinds of banks with your wealth.

It is the ultimate scale business. Once you successfully create a perfect, infinitely scalable 'many to many' business, and you assume and retain a leadership position in your industry, then.... May God bless us.

I don't want to be Jeff. In fact, I don't want to be a dollar billionaire. I just want to have more than enough to experience life to the fullest during my limited time on the earthly plain.

In God I trust.

and so shall it be! That's also my prayer everyday

this means that our own Diezanni Madueke is richer than the world richest man. oya see. Diezanni = stole $90 billion+ salary as a minister = greater than Jeff

Bill Gates was a fool to lose this position by giving his fortune to charity.

Was it charity that made him rich?

Listen to yourself...God Himself knows who He blesses and who He doesn't.

Jeff Bezos is worth 90bn dollars making him the world's richest man. If he had Diezani in his workforce, he'll be penniless � #JeffBezos

Say what? Lol, well. It's more than necessary. But since you're asking. The entire money (minus 1 percent or so) would go into consumer goods. Yes.

$1m or so on borderless Imports/exports and mass wholesale/distribution/retail of carefully selected fast moving consumer goods, and the remaining $9m (or thereabouts) on local production of consumer goods. Marketing and associated costs are embedded, of course.

I'm sure I'll make more money faster with the former (which would follow a 'many to many' business model) than the latter, but then, immediate returns isn't the only goal at a certain level, particularly when one is not short sighted... .and one is guided by an appreciation of God, foresight, providence, a 'pay it forward' mindset and social consciousness.

He'll still go down the list like others. His stay on top of the list is only temporal. He should go and ask the likes of Carlos slim, Warren buffet, Amancio Ortega etc. They all topped the richest men list, where are they today? Bill Gates is the king of them all

I don't think he's going down anytime soon

If you've been following the Forbes list annually, you'll know Jeff Bezos would buck that trend. I see him crossing the $100 billion mark in two years. Bill Gates will still keep being up there but trust me, Jeff would be a tough competitor.

With this kind of mindset are you sure you will get rich. They give to charity because they know there is no way they can get that rich without God.
