Heh, if only I had known back in the womb the true key to financial freedom was to inherit my wealth, I could have been born to different parents! Although, would I still be me, then, I wonder… Interesting article, and thanks for the laughs!

Very true – Bernie Madoff did a number on many! In fact, feel free to read “Does Bernie Madoff Win In The End?” http://www.financialsamurai.com/2009/08/27/does-bernie-madoff-win-in-the-end/

I propose a 7th ingredient. You know, you can become rich by stealing and scamming people also!

But, I don’t know if they wanted that type of thing in the article. Suspicion may arise. :)

Jane – It is pretty random the September one. However, maybe it’s because they have motivated rich parents who only decide to get busy in December during the holidays b/c they can afford to do so? I donno..

Interesting observation. I can’t understand why most of these folks were born in September. That seems completely random to me.

My wife has 3 of the 5 mentioned, I’ve gotta show her this and remind her that she was born to succeed ;)

Should I drop out of college now I wonder, with 3 more courses to go? I think I’ll stick it out.

Pick your parents, it’s the right thing to do!

Nice article, with an accurate observation!

Haha. Cute article. I hope readers read it for fun, and not advice.

It seems similar to books that do a survey or study of what it takes to be the millionaire next door. They look for common traits, and guess that those are the factors.

However, I think it suffers from the survivor’s bias. We are left in the dark about the countless people who dropped out of college . . . and are not millionaires . . . much less billionaires.

Cute read though. Started reading your blog recently. Enjoyable.
