How to become the richest person in the world

Today I stumbled upon Boomj Finance and saw where they had a list of the world’s 20 richest people along with a few facts. I thought some things were interesting.

• Only 7 out of 20 completed college.
• 17 out of 20 were married. 1 was single. 1 was widowed. 1 was divorced.
• 18 out of 20 had 2 or more kids. 1 had 0 kids. 1 had 1 child.
• 13 out of 20 fortunes were self-made. 1 was N/A. and 6 were inherited.
• 4 out of the 7 who completed college, inherited their fortune.
• Their average age is 64 years.
• 5 of them live in the US. 2 live in Germany. 2 live in the UK. 2 live in France.

Let me sum this up. If you want to be the richest person in the world you may want to consider dropping out of school, move to the US, get married, have 2 kids, don’t expect an inheritance, and you’ll be one of the wealthiest people in the world by age 64.

Good luck!
