WANT TO BECOME A BILLIONAIRE?

I read an interesting article right HERE about the similar traits billionaires seem to share
Read the full story or look for the full summary after the jump...





Basically, the article said the current members of the Forbes 400 had these things in common:


1. Their parents had mathematical-related professions. They stressed that the ability to crunch numbers is a vital key to becoming a billionaire. (fml)

2. Of the 380 self-made American tycoons who appeared on the Forbes list in the past 3 years, about 11% of them were born in September (more than any other month; December was the lowest)

3. Of the 274 self-made tycoons from this year's Forbes 400, nearly 15% of them never started or dropped out of college.

4. Several of the members of the list have faced bitter disappointments and failures early on in their careers, thus causing them to fear failure.

So there you have it. Simple right?
