A Shortcut to Becoming a Forbes Billionaire

Have you ever wondered how people end up in Forbes? Many people have profitable businesses but why only few make it to billions? Some of them inherit money but do they receive those billions in cash? Are there people in the list who just get huge salaries or bonuses? 

When you actually read profiles of billionaires you might find something in common. 

Jeff Bezos “...16% stake at Amazon”
Elon Musk “...owns 21% of Tesla”
Larry Ellison “..cofounder of software giant Oracle, of which he owns about 35%”

No matter the business, age, country, all of them have a stake at the publicly traded company. And that’s the source of their immense wealth. That’s the step from just making millions to becoming a billionaire.

Let me clarify it. What limits the earnings of an employee? The number of hours he or she can work. And the ceiling is fixed — it’s just 24 h. Can you make a fortune by working for someone? Millions? Possible. Billions? I doubt that.

What limits the business? The demand. What is the ceiling for demand? The population of the whole planet. And since the beginning of the market there hasn’t been a company which would expand to the extent of the whole planet. Not even Coca-Cola. Basically, this limit is infinite and there is always room for growth. So the only way to become really rich is by having a company. 

Here’s the trick. Having a company doesn’t necessarily mean starting one. You can become the owner of the company by buying its shares. Then you will own a fraction of the company equal to the number of stocks you have. If the company is growing, your capital is growing too. 

So, in a way, you can skip one stage in Kiyosaki’s quadrant. A simple sequence of roles one needs to undergo to gain financial freedom: Employee -> Self-employed -> Businessman -> Investor.

Thanks to the development of IT technologies, practically anyone with a smartphone can become an investor, make money work for them and grow capital together with the richest people in the world. Step by step I will explain to you how this mysterious world works.

Let’s begin this journey together!
