i think i am one of the poorest people in the world

JeffersonB · 09-05-2008, 04:45 AM

They make money every minute, second and hour.

True stories

Thomas Belknap · 09-05-2008, 04:51 AM

They have other people working for them making them money.

You can't get that big doing everything yourself.

tmwwtw · 09-05-2008, 05:09 AM

no donald trump on that lists

joecool1972 · 09-05-2008, 06:00 AM

Just tell us the answer the suspense is killing me:

I think that none of them acutally invented the wheel - so to speak.

They all adapted an already existing "thing" and figured out how to make money from it.

Pure guess.

Oh, and I can pretty much garantee that all of them invest in property/real estate in someway.

graphicsgenie · 09-05-2008, 06:07 AM

up to #33 they al;l have an a in their name

i then got bored

Easy Cash · 09-05-2008, 06:10 AM

They could all wipe out human poverty with the flick of a pen..........

lakshaybehl · 09-05-2008, 06:29 AM

They never played Baasket Ball with me or they would all lose without exception.

I am not sure about Cricket though!

Great Post Marcanthony!I agree with you 100%. My Grandfather always told me don't let other people put limitations on you.

ChocolateBiz · 09-05-2008, 10:49 AM

It is interesting that most of the truly financially wealthy inherited the money from good ol' grandpa or great grandpa.

However, wealth is also meassured by contentment, happiness, children and righteous living. However, money is also like oxgen, when you need it, you need it now.

Warmly
Jeff and Sandi

MADMONEY · 09-05-2008, 11:28 AM

Hold the Presses!

I have the answer! They all did not waste their time posting on this thread. Think about it, how much money did we make while reading this thread or posting to it.

I'm guilty as well.

No one person can end poverty by simply writing a check.

Take 60 B USD (the higher range fortune rounded) and divide among 6 B people (world population set to a nice round figure) and each person on the planet gets $10! Even when you adjust for poverty levels and exchange rates, it wouldn't make a huge dent.

Poverty is a much bigger and more complex problem than can be solved by simply taking from the rich and giving to the poor.

Do it that way and the rich would probably end up rich again and the poor would end up poor again regardless.

Here we go ...

When you click on the following link, you'll find a list of the world's 100 wealthiest people:

List of the 100 wealthiest people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Now, answer this question:

What (if anything) do they all have in common?

Look forward to your answers ...

-JasonKing

They all have started companies or are investors or inventors of some sort.

Jeffrey Louis · 09-05-2008, 08:11 PM

This is an awesome list. My buddys and I were just arguing about who the most wealthy people were - literally yesterday!

Paul M · 09-05-2008, 08:12 PM

They all make billions more each year by investing and buying up new businesses, well most of them anyway.

paul

mojoisland · 09-05-2008, 08:14 PM

I'd guess none of them ever has to explain to their spouse why they have spent another $97.00 on some Clickbank product.

Cheers!

Yadira Barbosa · 09-05-2008, 08:16 PM

Mmmm, Carlos Slim its the only owner of ALL the only phone company in Mexico, then he is also the owner of Telcel, the ONLY cell phone company that own all the cell phone infrastructure in Mexico too (Telefonica Movistar rent their infrastructure to Telcel so is not even a competition really) and then buy another countries phone and cell phones companies too, so he have a huge monopoly.

As we know Bill gates almost have a 2nd monopoly, just look windows vista, now its almost impossible to buy any PC without it!

Trent Brownrigg · 09-05-2008, 08:22 PM

I'm not sure what they all have in common but I do know one thing that really sucks about the list... The fact that I am not on it!!!

Ben Brentlinger · 09-05-2008, 08:36 PM

What do the 100 wealthiest people in the world have in common?

They all invested time and money in their education and than took action on it once they got it (in other words, once they got the education, they didn't go into information overload, they acted upon the information they received)

Take a look at America's 50 Poorest People:

America's 50 Poorest People | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

Now what do they all have in common?

BTW- To become extremely wealthy you have be extremely greedy, selfish, and have a wreckless disregard for the welfare of others. I personally don't think those characteristics are worthy of praise.

They're all on The Onion?

I disagree with you that to be extremely wealthy you gotta be greedy, selfish and have a wreckless disregard for the welfare of others. Mr Warren Buffet donated lots. Not to mention all the rest of the 100 too - they created jobs for people.

Scott Ames · 09-09-2008, 03:47 PM

Ok.. I can't sleep at night. I walk the hallways, I try to watch TV... nothing works. I'm tired, my eyes are red, I look like heck. I haven't shaved in days....

I MUST KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS... please....!!

Dan C. Rinnert · 09-09-2008, 04:11 PM

Well, I guess I'll take another guess since we don't know the answer yet.

Look at how they got their fortunes... Investments, software, diy furniture that falls apart so you have to buy more and more until you smarten up and buy real furniture, food, gambling, steel, oil, made-in-China lead-painted cheap plastic goods, crummy computers, candy, rentals, banking, shoes, make-up, electronics...

They have nothing in common!

It just goes to show that you can make your wealth in anything!

Michael Chris · 09-10-2008, 12:41 AM

Jason,

Are you going to leave everyone hanging, or what?

You got the thread to 2 pages, now post back please.

I read sometime back that a study on this exact Subject was done. And the one thing that was universal and most common among highly sucessful multi millionaire was that they ALL had very high Vocabularies !!

GrantFreeman · 09-10-2008, 01:54 AM

They all have stock in Berkshire Hathaway

G

GrantFreeman · 09-10-2008, 02:01 AM

They all buy their underwear from Wal-Mart?

GrantFreeman · 09-10-2008, 02:04 AM

Every one of them voted to keep Donald Trump off of the list until he tweezes his eyebrows?

BIG Mike · 09-10-2008, 02:07 AM

I can't say factually that this is true across the list, but many names jump out there of people who literally started with nothing and pursued their goals into the wealth you see on the list.

cj9253 · 09-10-2008, 03:42 AM

Hmmm....

they all know how to adapt to change and assess risk properly

seree · 09-10-2008, 03:58 AM

They all AIM for very high return from their action. Much higher than normal peoples.

ildarius · 09-12-2008, 11:54 PM

He means that he's waiting for the reply of the original poster. The original author was supposed to give the answer to his question.

Which we are all still waiting for.

Dixiebelle · 09-13-2008, 01:00 AM

They are all visionaries who saw a need, took action, and filled it.

saar2222000 · 09-13-2008, 01:02 AM

Who are 100 people that have never been in my kitchen.

Allitle cliff form cheers for ya.(the episode when he was on jeopardy.Classic)
