The world is growing closer and closer thanks to social media and global news. Everything is at the tips of our fingertips, and those who are making such information available are coming younger each generation. The billionaires in the world are getting more money at younger ages than ever seen before. Of the select few billionaires in the world, less than 2,000 of them, 31 are in their thirties or younger! And 13 of the 31 young billionaires reside in the US of A.
As the recession eliminates jobs available to people, it seems the opportunities to become a billionaire are increasingly limitless. Billionaires are not necessarily the most intelligent people, they just come up with ideas that many other people probably have thought about but just didn't persue. The difference really is in the laziness of the worker.

I agree with this. People are becoming billionaires from making apps like Flappy Birds and other apps like that for people to use everyday on their phones and it is crazy because it is just a game.
ReplyDeleteHmm this is really interesting. I think what you're saying is correct, but I think the ultra-wealthy people of the world have actually always followed a similar characteristic that they may not be the "most intelligent" people. Kings and queens are handed their wealth as a result of becoming a leader. The same goes for many politicians- though they may not be billionaires, they fit the category of some of the most wealthy.
