Op thanks so much for sharing. I love the flavour you added to it. I ve read about him on wiki and i must say he is a very wise man.

One thing the rich have in common is that, they THINK BIG! They are willing to help millions of people. The richest men in the world are those who touch the life of most people. It comes down to this, the more people you help, the richer you become. My goal is to conquer Africa and then, the world.

Though he has a point about giving charity but i don't agree with him. Bill and Buffet have helped transform lives through Bill's foundation. Its about giving back to the world.

I will appreciate it if anyone can send an ebook of Revolutionary wealth to my email. Its Emmanuelakpe65(at)yahoo.com
thanks in anticipation.

Buy cheap stuff from people desperate for the cash....and sell at a big premium to people that desperately want the item.

Lebanese have really gone places on earth. I don't think they'd be friends with Jews because they have everything in common . Stingy people.

mikron: Nigerians re much more richer than these people. no thanks to corruption. Babangida is worth worth than the $35 billion he is estimated with. Alakija is adjudged the worlds richest black woman in the world. countless silent billionaires abound in Nigeria. what more can i say

You mean to tell us that somewhere there is a Nigerian that is worth more than US$75 billion?

And Alakija is adjudged the world's richest black woman?. . .Must only be on Nairaland, because according to leading international rating agencies she doesn't show up on the radar.

Where did you whip out these deductions from?

78 billion dollars not Naira, 88 billion Naira is not up to 1billion dollars.

christ4mi: You don kill my dream of marrying from Dangote's family.
Forget it, the Rich prefer to marry their kind. Just look for pressing problems you can solve. Build your business based on the solutions and sell your solutions in form of products and services. And you'll be wealthy beyond your imaginations. Don't depend on marrying a rich man for your wealth. Be creative.

This's educative and worth reading carefully.

This information would certainly change the way some people approach business.

I'm already thinking like a billionaire, because a single idea ( or information) would change the life of someone for ever.

Nice piece, before now, I didn't know the man is this conservative and simple minded.


Imagine if his a Nigerian, his fleet of private jets, would lobby to live with only his family in a quarter of a state sized land, own houses he doesn't know their correct location ( address) in all major cities on earth, etc.

as much as i want to give him credit for preserving his ''INHErited wealth''... i'd prefer to be motivated by ''self-made Billionaires'' like william Gates and Ellison (oracle ceo) etc.

i my papa leave 40 billion dollars for me. do u think i'd be dulling myself? his path to success was easy.

NEXT!!!!

Very insightful.... Let's not forget that large percentage of this man's wealth was inherited. Besides, he won't have gotten there without hard work and his business acumen. However, hard it might sound for a typical Nigerian who wasn't born with a silver spoon, at least; it's doable.

Indeed, success is not accidental- I WILL GET THERE!
