Ever noticed how once one hits a certain level of wealth, like those big names — Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Warren Buffett, Mark Cuban — it just seems to keep growing?
Besides, it’s like there’s some kind of secret formula to amassing wealth that these guys have figured out.
However, is that the case? It’s quite intriguing to dive into their success tales, but let’s pause for a moment and look at the bigger picture here.
It’s not like these big names started from zero.
They had a head start. Gates, for instance, his dad was already a successful lawyer. And Cuban? He cashed in millions from his first company before hitting the billion mark.
Now, this isn’t to take away from their hard-earned achievements — they took what they had and ran with it.
But just imagine starting from scratch, with no safety net beneath you.
