HOW TO BE A BILLIONAIRE

HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO HELP YOU BECOME A BILLIONAIRE:

We all want to be billionaires, right? Of course we do. Why wouldn't we?

With that in mind, here are some tips to help you become a billionaire . . . based on an unscientific study of the world's 657 billionaires conducted by "Forbes".

#1.) Have parents with a math-related career: A significant percentage of the world's billionaires come from parents who had math-related jobs, like an engineer, an accountant, or a small-business owner.

#2.) Be born in September . . . but NOT December: More American billionaires were born in the fall than any other season . . . and the MOST were born in the month of September. Meanwhile, relatively few billionaires were born in December.

#3.) Get a graduate degree: More than 55% of American billionaires hold a graduate degree. And NINE in TEN who got their MBA attended either Harvard, Columbia or the University of Pennsylvania.

#4.) Or don't go to college at all: More than ONE in FIVE self-made American billionaires never went to college . . . or dropped out early (--including BILL GATES, STEVE JOBS and MICHAEL DELL).

#5.) Join the secret society Skull and Bones: A bunch of billionaires were members of the secret society at Yale called Skull and Bones . . . before going on to earn their fortunes.

#6.) Work at Goldman Sachs: At least 11 current or recent billionaires worked for Goldman Sachs early in their careers.

#7.) Suffer a bitter professional setback: Why? Because it will heighten your fear of failure . . . just like it did for so many of the world's billionaires. (Yahoo Finance)
