      Most internet marketers will spend their entire lives trying to crank out just one miserable million. Tough enough as it is. :p

    Because you're not going to make a billion selling $7 ebooks in the WSO section.

    There is only one Warrior I'd image COULD get that far, if he invests wisely and picks a few winners: Ron Douglas

    WTF, we have to explain why we're not billionaires now?

    Okay, here's the math.

    There are about 1,400 billionaires in the world.

    There are about 7 billion people in the world.

    That's one billionaire for every 5 million people.

    There are only about 200,000 Warrior Forum members.

    Since that's 1/25 of that 5 million, the chance of any Warrior being a billionaire is roughly 4%.

    A more accurate calculation based on figures from Forbes magazine and the U.S. Census Bureau...

    Chance of at least one person on the Warrior Forum being a billionaire: 100% - chance of NO person on the Warrior Forum being a billionaire

    Chance of no person on the Warrior Forum being a billionaire: chance of any person not being a billionaire ^ Warrior Forum members

    Chances of any person not being a billionaire: 100% - chance of any person being a billionaire

    Chance of a single person being a billionaire: 1387 / 6,874,100,000 = .000020177186831730699291543620255743%

    Therefore, chance of a single person NOT being a billionaire: 100% - .000020177186831730699291543620255743% = 99.99997982281316826930070845638%

    And chance of no person on the Warrior Forum being a billionaire: 99.99997982281316826930070845638% ^ 223,000 = 95.6%

    And, finally, chance of at least one person on the Warrior Forum being a billionaire: 100% - 95.6% = 4.4%

    (Not a bad estimate I made up there. )

    But while we are here, King Shiloh, I am afraid I must ask.

    The population of Nigeria is roughly 158 million.

    The Nigerian President's cabinet contains a member from each of the 36 Nigerian states.

    That's roughly one out of every 4.4 million people.

    So explain to me, my friend... how are you not a member of the Presidential cabinet of Nigeria? You have better odds of that than any of us have to be a billionaire. :p

        I guess billions are made only in the "real world" industries at this moment. To see an Internet billionaire we probably have to wait 20-30 years at least. My thought.

    Caliban,

    I think you would do better as a math geek than an internet marketer. Please go get a Doctorate degree in math.

    As for being a member of the Presidential cabinet of Nigeria, I'm not a politician though I'm still nursing the ambition...

    Somebody forgot to tell Mark Zuckerberg, I hear he is doing quite well as an internet billionaire.

    If you are really determined to become the warrior forums first billionaire, here is your plan: Sell 50,000,000 ebooks at $20 and you'll hit a billion.

    I think you are missing your own point here, instead about asking why others are not on the list maybe ask the question to yourself, why is your name not on the list?

    Mr. Shiloh...

    Not that it matters at all, but not everyone wants to be a billionaire. No
    kidding. Personally, I think it would be a hassle. Less hassle is good.

    There are lots of reasons I feel that way. Probably would be best not to
    discuss most of those reasons.

    So you're a semi-aspiring politician, huh? Well, before you decide to seek
    office, no- not the one at the end of the hallway at home, I suggest you
    delete your posts here, especially the one in the OT about your aversion
    to clean socks. lol

    Seriously, if you become the next Nigerian president, make me something...
    I don't know, Minister of Entertainment or something cool like that. No
    real responsibility, just unlimited powers to have fun.

    Simple reasons:

    1) Because being a billionaire will subject you to multiple lime-lights and you have to WORK to keep your millions. As a millionaire I get to enjoy the beaches with my family under the radar.

    2) Because being a billionaire will subject you to worries of trying to protect your assets, rendering you many sleepless nights. As millionaire I sleep with a smile on my face because I know that I'll making another $1000 during my sleep.

    3) Because being a billionaire will subject you to MORE work. As millionaire, I have lesser work.

    So why should I be a billionaire? Or, why should any American warriors be a billionaire?

    I agree with you Ken. As for making you a minister, I will think about it.

    But will you be operating as a Nigerian Minister...from the United States?

      King Shiloh, I notice that a few names on that list are related to the internet, so that should reassure you. Besides, those are the billionaires who want to show their faces on newspapers, which is possibly not everybody's desire, for a variety of reasons.
      Anyway...how many IM are in Nigeria?
