Aspiring billionaire

Hey wso didn't know what forum to post this In but stocks and markets seems the most closely related and appropriate, basically I really want to be a billionaire, I want to make and be worth a billion dollars or two within my lifetime preferably sometime soon like say 10 years. I've been interested in finance and money since I was a teenager and have always wanted to be rich. I read a lot in my free time and know decently about stocks and markets and investing and how the business world works. Please help me wso I really really want to do whatever it takes business and investing wise to be a billionaire and to persist and work hard and research and do business wisely to be a billionaire. Whether it takes entrepreneurship or investing or creativity or whatever I really want to be a billionaire. I want to do something great and change the world in the process and become a billionaire. Please help me, what should I do?

This thread is allsome.

A few ideas for you:

1
  1. Steal underpants
  2. ????
  3. Make a billion dollars.
2
  1. Come up with an idea for a startup, doesn't need to be good.
  2. Get a friend to put in a dollar for a share of the company equal to one billionth of ownership. Now you have yourself a unicorn startup.
  3. Tell everyone that your startup is worth a billion dollars.
  4. Raise some real money/generate a ton of publicity.
  5. IPO
  6. Make a billion dollars.
3
  1. Marry Elizabeth Holmes (LOL/RIP her career when Theranos goes under).
  2. Divorce her.
  3. Take half her wealth, which is a sham anyways.
4
  1. Build a time machine.
  2. Go back to either post WW2 Hungary or late 2000s Zimbabwe.
  3. Exchange a couple bucks.
  4. Boom, you're not just a billionaire but at least a trillionaire.
5
  1. Go to the Federal Reserve.
  2. Rob it.
  3. Rob it again a few months later.
  4. One more time a few months later.
  5. If you're not in some hole the government out you in, you're a billionaire.

Give it a shot and be sure to make a blog, probably a vlog, about your progress.

 

I'm serious guys...... I'm not joking I really do want to shoot for the stars and try to get as far as I can in the business and financial world. I've always been interested in business since I was a teen and have always wanted to be rich not just to get my name out and have an ego boost but because I want to do philanthropy and influence people and also have nice things. I don't know if fate and destiny and karma is real and if things are meant to be or not but I still want to follow my heart and chase my dreams..... I really want to be a billionaire please help me wso what should I do it may sound like a big goal but everything big started somewhere small and everything came from something. Please help me wso what should I do and what should I learn.

You sound like you already know what you should be doing. Create a startup that makes weaponry that can take out stars. The idea is already out there (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Starkiller_Base) so you have to act fast. It'll be certain to #disrupt the weapons industry.

Getting rich by compound interest on your own money will take quite long. So you need other people's money. If you manage money and increase other people's wealth, people will through money at you. Then you have the leverage - in both directions.

 

I'm assuming you're serious - the only way to do that is to be crazy. Look at all the billionaires out there - every single one of them is crazy, they have some weird quirk in their head, and are just different from the normal guy. Bill Gates never showered in college because he couldn't read while using both hands to wash his hair. Warren Buffett got to where he is now by working 100 hours every single week of his life.
