THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE, PLEASE DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH


The thing about being, wealthy is that it is more complex than we make it to be, when it comes to money we have this lottery mindset!! we want to win the lottery big time, from $10,000 to $10 million, only then will it be ok, we don’t know about assets nor do we want to know. We don’t want to work to become wealthy, the sad thing about what we do as a people is that we do like to impress other people with the little money we have,  we buy clothes, and buy cars to impress people. The thing about rich people, they don’t have to impress other people. Rich people don’t have to impress anyone and tell anyone they are rich,  if they are,  you will know, and if you don’t know it is probably not meant for you to know. Our idea of rich or wealthy is usually a music video or comes from TV, or these days the internet ( which has replaced TV). We think what we see is everyday life for high net worth individuals. I ask a question, Can anyone tell me what car Jay Z drove yesterday? Or any of the rich people we know or want to become. We would see him in a music video though driving a Rolls Royce or a  Ferrari but we don’t know what he drives every day!  He might be able to afford a Rolls Royce, or any other car in real life  but is that his everyday life .. Nope here is something we need to consider 

  1. Jeff Bezos, Amazon  Net worth $154.2 Billion, drives a Honda Accord  Base Model  Price $16,000
  2. Sergey Brin co-founder of Google, Net worth  $54.2 Billion drives a Toyota Prius, price $ 30,000.
  3. Larry Page  Co-founder  of Google, Net worth $55.5 Billion drives a Toyota Prius, Price $30,000
  4. Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook Net worth $64.6 Billion drives an Acura TSX price of 30,000.00, he also has a Volkswagen Golf GTI hatchback
  5. Number 5 for me takes the cake, he may not be living with us anymore but he understood that a car is only meant to get you from point A to point B, This man was the founder of Ikea and he died in 2018, which means he could afford any of the nice things we see. With a Networth of almost $60 Billion he can buy any car he wanted, his name is Ingvar Kamprad. He drove a 1993 Volvo 240 GL until his death!!

I think we can learn a thing or two, from these guys, they understand money very well !!!! we should be learning from them
