No and no I've made no efforts to be one nor will I ever take the necessary risk. Goal is 25m by 45.
I would be highly surprised to become a billionaire. My number is somewhere above $10M, which I may be able to achieve depending on carry and the performance of the next 2-3 funds I work on.
Long run I don’t think the lifestyle I want to live requires me to be a billionaire at all. I want to have 2 houses paid off - east and west coast, a practical car and a race car, and enough money to retire and travel wherever I want. I just bought my grail watch and don’t expect to buy anything else for 3-5 years. Maybe that altogether requires $15-20M but if I needed to, could get by with under $5M and just live off dividends somewhere cheap. I’ve lived in every corner of the US and can enjoy any region. I’ve been investing since I was a teenager so hopefully compound interest will bridge the gap here.
I'm sure many are more disappointed that they're still virgins
I never thought that was a realistic option nor a necessary one.
Everyone deep down thinks they can be a billionaire but in reality it is all luck. There are so many smart, hardworking people that never get close.
no billionaire is a billionaire because he wanted to be a billionaire. He just got extremely interedted in doing something and he ended up being so good that he made it big.
Only losers dream about being billionaires. The future billionaires dream about being the best out there.
People who are on the path to a billion want to have billions because billions of dollars mean control. Power and control. Yeah, they are good at something, but they want to move the chess pieces of life in a big way.
You took the words out of my mouth. Some go for the win others do not.
Yeah man, why neither of my college dropout parents bothered to help start Microsoft or some other multi-bagger before I was born just so I could be born into a trust fund bugs me every day. Lazy fuckers!
Wow the nerve!!!!
Billionaires? Not quite there yet! But hey, gotta dream big, right?
A billionaire?! Heavens no! That's not even remotely on the radar.
I just turned 31 and coincidentally just became a millionaire, completely via the boring old-fashioned way. I.e. through index funds, tax management, and diligent savings. And I know that there are some wicked high earners on this forum who are going to think I'm some kind of broke loser for saying this. But, I'm freakin' stoked about it. I grew up in a very modest midwest town and I never thought this was achievable. I always thought millionaires were crazy rich people on TV with Lamborghinis and stuff. And I know that a millionaire now ain't what it used to be in the lexicon of the '90s, but it's still something. And I look forward to the second million being easier than the first.
