How to be rich?
by kristina leskova
Imagine that you would be as rich as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or other famous and rich people. How it would be? Of course having so much money has some advantage. You do not have to be worried about your expenses, you have enough money to pay bills and live the way you want. But how do other people look at rich people? And maybe you ask how it is possible to become rich. Many people would appreciate to have enough money, especially at this time. Forbes analyzed the richest people because they wanted to know if there are some common signs among these people. And some of the results are very interesting. First sign was that many parents of these rich people were talented for ! math. And the truth is that it is quite important to know the numbers because as rich person you always work with high numbers. And the mathematical abilities can be inherited. The most common jobs among the parents were engineer, accountant or small business owner. Then another common sign was the month when they were born. From 480 people who appeared on the Forbes list of the World´s Billionaires in past three years, 42 of them were born in September. Generally we could say that most of them were born during the fall. On the other hand only few of them were born in December which is a month with quite high birth rate. If you think that the most important thing how to be rich is the school then you are wrong. Almost 15 percent of these rich people have never finished a college. For example Bill Gates from Microsoft, Steve Jobs from Apple, Michael Dell from Dell, Larry Ellison from Oracle or Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook tried their fortune in technology but they we! re not successful. And the last sign is that many of the rich! people worked in investment bank Goldman Sachs.
