Billionaires

I came across an interesting article this morning about what makes a billionaire.  The study was far from scientific, but it was fun and interesting.

So, if you want a greater chance of becoming a billionaire, I hope you were born in the fall.  That’s right, according to Yahoo, billionaires were more likely to be born in the fall than in any other time of year.  (I was born in October…) I especially hope you weren’t born in December, because that month had the lowest chance–sorry.

To become a billionaire, your parents should have had a skill and liking for mathematics and been employed as an engineer, an accountant, or a small-business owner.  Of the 657 self-made billionaires studied, these findings were the most common.

Interestingly enough, many self-made billionaires have never started or never completed college.  Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Michael Dell never did.  Is accounting 220 really killing your grades?  Consider becoming a billionaire. =)

Like I mentioned before, none of this was scientific, but it sure was interesting.  Realistically, becoming a billionaire isn’t in the cards for most of us, but just be smart with your money and you may surprise yourself what will come of it.  Best of luck out there!
