I suggest you to see the film "The Count of Monte Cristo" which is based on a frech novel that was written over a century ago.\nIt is about the richest man in the world and his very poor background.

Yes it's a scam, no you cannot make that type of money, the money comes in from selling their "Ideas", or "programs". If it was that easy, wouldn't everyone you know be rich?

well, you've got one thing wrong already.  school trains people to have jobs and jobs pay people to work, not to get rich.  while there are certainly some jobs that allow you to make that amount of money, i'll give you a couple ideas:  most millionaires in the country were created in real estate and secondly by being an entrepreneur.

The easiest way is to inherit money. The vast majority of rich people in this country started out wealthy. And unfortunately, the gap between the rich and the middle class/poor is widening every day.\n\nAssuming you can't inherit money to make you rich (why would you ask this question if you could?), if you have a great business idea and the intelligence and determination to turn it into a successful business, you can also make it big. Think Bill Gates.\n\nThere's always the lottery, although that's really a sucker's game. And, if you have a little money, you can "gamble" on risky investments, although I wouldn't recommend it - you're better off investing the money safely for a happy retirement.\n\nGood luck!

There's one way that I know of: Sleep.\nI once became a billionaire while I was sleeping. Then the lousy alarm rang;-)\nApart, think in small steps. No one becomes a billionare without first becoming a millionaire or without first having the first few dollars in the bank. So start making whatever you can. Work hard. May compunding help you.

To amass money is an art very difficult to practise.\nOtherwise you can find many people who can earn enough money but are not millionaires.Only few can save try to be one of them.

In America we have free enterprise and a class-less society. In other words, anyone can make money and be rich and be accepted here. We have no special laws for the rich and different set for the poor. Thats the American Dream. In China, Iran,Russia, and the French Revolution, they have a class society. In other words, if you were born poor, you will probably remain that way because the oppurtunities are not there for you to advance your status in life.

Not all wealthy people are greedy. Many people became wealthy by helping other people, and some of the wealthiest people in the world give more money away than you and I could ever dream of.  For you to assume people are greedy because they are wealthy is really an unhealthy stereotype.

First: Work on having the wealth builders mind-set. You have to believe that you will become a financially secure "rich" person and never doubt yourself. It all begins in your mind.\n\nSecond: Become financially literate. Education is the key. Learn how to make money, mange it and grow it.  Rich people know how to make money and grow it...that's why they are "rich".\n\nThird: Plan on becoming a business owner and an investor someday and NOT work as an employee. How many "rich employees" do you know?  \n\nFourth: Make a hobby out of becoming rich because its going to take a lot of time, work, money and effort. How many lazy people do you know who are rich? So make the whole process a hobby and have fun with it.\n\nFifth: Become rich for the right reason. Like to take care of your family and to be able to help others who are in need. knowing that you may someday have the financial means to help others will help keep you motivated. \n\nRead books and listen to audio tapes that are published by people who are wealthy business owners and investors. They give you direction, valuable information and tips.  Start with the basics...Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and read all of his other books. Read or listen to the audio book Millionaire Next Door by Thomas J Stanley.  Also, read bios on wealthy people like Warren Buffet and Donald Trump.  \n\nWealth building information is actually free online and offline. All of the books and audio books that I've listed on this post are best sellers so most can be found at public libraries. \n\nBeing a "rich" person, "middle-class" person or a "poor" person is simply a reflection of whats going on in your mind. Change your mind-set and you change your life. \n\nAnswer this question..."What really separates rich people from the poor and middle-class?  Answer: Their mind-set. \n\nRich people are really no different from anyone else. They just used their "mind"  and do what's required to make a lot of money. The broke and middle-class use their minds to look for jobs and follow employee manuals. \n\nI'm a business developer and I help people start their own internet business. You can contact me if you want to start your own business online. I can help you with the process.\n\nGood Luck!

There are a number of reasons. The riches are exploiting the poor. In the industries the workers are not getting their remuneration according to the labor they provide there. The rich countries are exploiting the developing counties. Corruption is another reason. The person who has power in hand earns money through corruption and that money belongs to the people of the country. If the money is properly distributed among the people there can not be any poverty in the world.

Rich is a subjective word. Do you mean rich as in a net worth of one million dollars, one million dollars in 2005 dollars, or do u mean more like 15 million or more?\n\nRich is defined by the individual or surounding individuals. If one man with a net worth of 150,000 walks into a homeless shelter to help, the people there may look at him as being rich, although if the same man walked into the Chicago Board of Trade (Which I believe still holds the record for having the largest number of millionaires per square foot) he would be considered poor. \n\nThe only way to truly become wealthier is to earn economic profit, and the only way to do that is by exploiting market potential. Market potential is everywhere in America, you just need to open your eyes a little wider and you will see all the possibilities to earn economic profit, and meet your goal of what you believe it means to be rich. \n\nThere is definatly no system that can make a person rich in 20 years. If someone claimed a system existed and everyone got involved and it actually produced money it would mealy be inflationary more than anyhting. \n\nYou should also understand that money doesn't buy goods and services, goods and services buy goods and services, money is just the medium of exchange. So more money doesn't mean you can buy more. The more goods and services you provide the more you can get in exchange.

Nope, never had that happen. Poor people tend to stay poor. Rich people tend to be stingy!
