What's the fastest way to become a billionaire?

  What's the fastest way that you can make $1 billion? Well, you could inherit it. Yep, I think that's the fastest way. Wait, wait, wait. While that's the real answer to the question, that's What you're probably after is the answer to the fastest way that you can make $1 billion. That answer is far more complicated, and the truth of the matter is that it's likely impossible. The easiest answer to how you could make $1 billion other than inheriting it is simply winning it. In 2016, the Powerball jackpot in the US was $1.586 billion.

 That's the largest lottery jackpot ever, and while current lottery jackpots are just a fraction of that, it's likely that it will be beaten by a future lottery at some point in time. Now, even with a lottery jackpot that large, the prize had to be split between three different people, and with three winners, each took away 533 million before taxes. Even winning the largest jackpot in history isn't enough to make you a billionaire, but it is enough to get you close. Now let's back for a moment. How many billionaires are there actually in the world right now? The answer to that question appears to be about 2825. That's an incredibly tiny number when you consider that there are currently 46.8 million millionaires in the world, a far more achievable goal. Considering that the world population is 7.8 billion, that means you have a point. OOOO362%   chance of becoming a billionaire. Based on current statistics. For reference, you have a 0.0004% chance of being struck by an asteroid and dying. So when you put it that way, becoming a billionaire seems pretty likely. But back to the question at hand, maybe we can find the answer. If we observe how the current array of billionaires made their money, the largest percentage, roughly 14%, of the world's billionaires made their money through investing in finance. This is how Warren Buffett, the third richest man in the world, made his fortune. Roughly 11% of the world's billionaires made their money riding the fashion and retail industry to the top. The Walton family, the founders of Walmart, made their billions by becoming one of the largest retailers in the world. But we can't talk about retail without mentioning Jeff Bezos. Bezos, the founder of Amazon, became a billionaire first in 1999. What seems like an eternity ago now. He was 35 at the time and it took him just five years since the founding of Amazon. That nearly breaks the record. But there's two men who became billionaires faster and sooner than anyone else. Mark Zuckerberg is one of those men. At the age of 23, Mark Zuckerberg became one of the fastest billionaires ever. It took him just one year to go from 1,000,000 to 1 billion. However, it took him in reality four years to become a billionaire since the founding of Facebook, which is close to the current record, but if you do measure from the start of a business to actually becoming a billionaire. The record is held by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, who accomplished the task in just three years. The average billionaire, on the other hand, takes 21 years to amass their fortunes from their start in the business world, which is actually not that long if you really stop and think about it. However, examining the top spots for fastest to 1 billion Mark, Pierre and Jeff, the real answer becomes clear start and Internet commerce Business Jeff Bezos and Pierre Omidyar made their billions through creating a site where goods were bought and sold online. Mark on the other hand made his billions in a similar fashion, creating an ecommerce site where the goods being bought and sold were accessed to users data and the buyers were advertisers. That of course being the social media network Facebook. So it seems like the fastest way for you to make 1 billion is to create an Internet company, at least in the current day and age. The real answer is that these new billionaires rode the wave of new technology. While it's probably not too late to become a billionaire through an Internet company today, the world's next billionaires will likely come through riding the waves of the next new industry, whether that be space mining, cryptocurrency, robotics, whatever it may be. So the fastest way to make a billion is to start your own company and drive it to being the best place to do business for your industry, a task that's easier said to done.

Why the US government 30$ trillion owe?

  The United States is in a lot of debt. Currently the country owes $27.2 trillion. But who would even lend them that much money? Who does the US owe this massive sum?  Well, the answer to that is pretty simple. In large part, it owes itself that money, but there's also quite a few other countries it owes to. the US essentially owes two groups of people, the general public, which can be other countries or even investors in the US and itself. But before we get into who makes up those groups and what the percentages look like, first let's get some basics. Whenever the US government needs money, it raises that money through the issuing of savings bonds or treasury bonds. These bonds are basically pieces of paper that say the US will pay the person or agency that buys it back with a little bit of interest. Many people want to buy bonds because they're pretty solid investments, like banks, foreign governments, and maybe even you. The debt ceiling, which you may have heard about,...

China really does not want war? Taiwan then whose? Why is Taiwan so important to America and China?

China is playing with peril. still, America will intermediate militarily to cover the island, If China invades Taiwan. This is what US President Joe Biden said during a meeting with the leaders of the Quintet in Tokyo on May 23. China is not sitting still. Beijing's Foreign Ministry prophet Wang Wenbin stressed that Taiwan is an integral part of mainland China. There is no room for concession or concession. Encouraging Taiwan's independence would be like playing with fire. This is what Chinese President Xi Jinping said in 2021. still, there would be nothing to worry about, If the issue was limited to such a war of words.

The End of Doller empire !

The End of Doller empire!  Saudi Arabia is in discussions with China to price some of its oil sales in yuan, but as ties with Washington continue to be strained. Beijing and Moscow are diversifying. China and Russia have taken another step closer towards dumping the dollar and agreed to trade in their respective national currencies, the Russian ruble and the Chinese yuan. The End of Doller empire Hi everybody. the US dollar has been the most powerful currency in the world for 80 long years.  This reserve currency status gives the United States such unprecedented power over the world economy that can cripple the economy of any country within a fortnight. And because of this power, it has even dominated giant players like Russia and China. But you know what guys? This is where China and Russia have actually come up with a master plan to kill the dollar dominance in the world. And if you look at the past 10 years data, you will see that it's actually working out quite well. In 19...

Are we alone in the universe?

A dog! They are looking at the stars in the sky. As we see. May or may not be breathing. Creating or not creating. But one question is right between them. Just like us. Are we alone in the universe? When the Armstrongs returned from the moon, they were quarantined for several days. Why? Because if a virus or any other germs came through them from the moon, i.e. very close to our satellite, scientists thought about the possibility of life in this satellite, isn't it strange? Let's go to the universe in search of life. Earth is the only source of life? This question is very old. There are ten thousand times more stars in our Milky Way alone than there are sand dunes on this planet. To be more precise, this number is ten to the power twenty-two to ten to the power twenty-four or more. If five percent of its stars are like our sun, then the number stands at five hundred billion billion stars. Very good talk. If we assume that even one out of every five Sun-like stars has water and ...

What is the meaning of the rate race?

It's complicate to calculate exactly when you joined the rat race. But rest assured you're in this race. Flash back the time of reading in class eight? Ahead of the education test computation Algebra figures doctoring all the complex formulas of wisdom Get up beforehand in the morning at the private instructor's house and study late at night. You must have spent a lot of time busy with work compared to your age? We all spent. At that time, the guardian must have said that this is a many further days. Life is peaceful and peaceful only when the education test is over. You have heard these words numerous times in numerous occurrences of life. Take the SSC test, you get freedom when you get to council. Life will be full of joy once you can get into varsity. Enter the job life formerly. Having fun with your own plutocrat is different. Have you heard of this?  Can you match the numbers standing at the end of the age clock? What do you think? Has life gotten a little easier after...

What is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?

Depression has an additional air or disease in English which is called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or OCD and in Bengali it is called Suchibai. Sounds like a very common disease doesn't it? We do not give importance to this disease because it is made fun of because it is considered normal. And on that occasion, this weed grows bigger. Pain increases and that pain is much more intense than depression. Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common mental health condition where a person has obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. OCD can affect men, women and children. Some people start having symptoms early, often around puberty, but it usually starts during early adulthood. Here is a detail view of OCD.

Who controls of our whole economic money?

  I'm gonna start this article with a quote. Henry Ford once said it is well enough that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system. For if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning. I quote this because it encapsulates the fact that the contents of this article may be unsettling compared to the articles that I normally make.  I still feel compelled to make this article because I've been exploring the financial world for the last four years and it's definitely given me a more complete view of the world I want to share some of what I've come across with you guys. I'm also going to do a article about cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin in the future and to understand why Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies may continue to rise. It's critical that you understand the contents of this article. I hope that you find this topic interesting and that inspires you to do your own research afterwards.  Now, with that sai...

Why money worth anything ?

  Money is arguably one of the most important things in the world. While happiness and joy might outrank it at least on your uplifting Instagram feed, money does seem to make things easier. When you actually stop and think about paper money, though, we're left with a perplexing conundrum. There's nothing inherently valuable about these banknotes, at least today. So why does money have any value at all? Over time? How paper money is valued has actually changed, so to understand how modern money is worth anything. First, we have to look back to the early days of paper money. In the early days of governmental currency, money wasn't paper. Rather, it was usually a coin made of a precious metal like gold or silver. The value of that money was intrinsic as the value of the metal that made it up. If you melted a gold coin down, you'd have the same amount of gold as the coin was worth. As this system of money became impractical, governments decided to come up with a new way of ...

Catherine is a working girl in a city. The house is quite far from the workplace. He has to travel by public transport. One day it was quite late to leave the office due to work pressure. He boarded a bus to go home. And just before the last stop at his house. Quite a lot of the way. So he put it on the seat. The eyes may have come from fatigue. When he opened his eyes he saw that he was the only passenger in the bus and a boy was standing next to the driver. He asked the driver if the bus will not go forward? The driver said he would go.
