So how did the 2,153 members of The Three Comma Club make their fortunes? There are many ways the people who made the Forbes’ 2019 World’s Billionaires list built their wealth—from selling glass smartphone screens to Apple to growing a scaffolding empire. 14% of the billionaires hail from the staid finance and investments industry, including Warren Buffett - the third richest person in the world.

I bet if somebody gave me $300 - $500 million dollars, a real estate empire, and 50 years, I could become a billionaire without breaking a sweat

Yep, and if you weren't a hopless narcissist with an edifice complex you could just invest that cash and sit back on the interest, plus become a philanthropist with a charity that actually DOES benefit somebody else. You could have it all.

The reason we have fewer workers these days is because 10,000 baby boomers a day have been retiring for over a decade now! And many retirees use opioids to deal with pain.
