How do you get rich? How do rich people end up that way? This week, we're going to talk about it. I've come up with about ten ways you can get rich in this world, and I've divided those into five categories—one a day. Each day, I will introduce a new category and give you the odds of that way making you rich.
So today, how many people get rich purely from luck? What would that be—things like winning the lottery, marrying a bunch of money, divorcing a bunch of money, becoming a huge sports star, or a Hollywood celebrity? What do you think the odds are of one of those happening?
Your odds of winning the lottery are 0.0001; marrying money, the same; becoming a sports or Hollywood celebrity, 0.001. Add them all up - less than one percent of people get rich this way.
