The Ten Roads to Riches: The Ways the Wealthy Got There [ZT]


What are the Ten Roads?

1. Start a successful business—the richest road!

2. Become the CEO of an existing firm and juice it—a very mechanical function.

3. Hitch to a successful visionary's wagon and ride along—it's high value-added.

4. Turn celebrity into wealth—or wealth into celebrity and then more wealth!

5. Marry well—really, really well.

6. Steal it, legally—no guns necessary!

7. Capitalize on other people's money (OPM)—where most of the mega-rich are.

8. Invent an endless future revenue stream—even if you're not an inventor!

9. Trump the land barons by monetizing unrealized real estate wealth!

10. Go down the Road More Traveled—save hard, invest well—forever!
