Fastest way to become a millionaire is to invest in real estate (usually buying rental properties), this has happened frequently in my state, Arizona.

Education is very important, but that is not how you become wealthy. The secret of the rich is residual income. You cannot become wealthy trading time for dollars. The rich value their time, the not so rich value money. The rich pay us money to work 40 hrs a week while they play, enjoy their families, etc. (You've never seen a bentley stuck in rush hour traffic). While we're at work teed off, they are on the course teeing off. Once I learned their secret, I found a way to get me some and it has changed my life. Only 3% of the population gets paid through residual income, and the other 97% works for them. My residual income with TNI, a home based business I have been with for less than 2 yrs, will surpass my income and pension in the legal profession. I wish I had known about this 3 degrees and $76,000 school loans ago, but I know now. I hope this helps. Stop trading your time to build someone elses dreams. Put your time/effort to work for yourself, leverage off of the work of others, and you will become wealthy. See you at the top.

Send me $1,000 and I'll get back to you (just kidding).  There are no successful get rich quick schemes. What works for one person will not work for most others.  The best and most successful way to get rich is through a successful budget plan, realistic and thoughtful goals, hard work, diversification and sacrifice.  At the age of 29 you should first learn to save some between those paychecks. Find out what you spend your money on and spend less of it.  Do not use credit except for home mortgage, and prepare for regular maintenance.  Once you are able to save you will be able to invest in inovative minimal risk investments that will grow over time.  These are and always will be the only sure fire road to wealth.

Unless you really have a unique idea, and the finance to patent, produce and market it correctly, you won't earn a million in five years.  If you are prepared to put in consistent effort, the UK business I'm in could help you become financially independent.  I can send you a DVD to have a look at, that explains it a lot better than a simple email, if you'd like to email me your details.  Alternatively, you can leave your details on my freephone - 0800 298 2384.

The only way to make much money is to earn it then invest it wisely.  I see you posted this in the investment category... my question is if you have nothing (or little) to invest... why would you post this here?  Shouldn't you be looking for a way to increase your income so that you can increase the amount you have to invest.  Anyone who tells you you can make millions without any work or effort (or capital) is just looking to take what little capital you do have from you.  There are many programs out there that will allow you to create an income from home, but any that are legit will require time and effort.  If you are willing to committ to "work" to increase your income... I can show you an opportunity that has helped us to suppliment our income.  I am not referring to a get rich quick scheme... this is a legit business that you can work on your own around your current schedule.  I would not promise you unrealistic amounts of cash... just the training and support to help you to reach your goals... provided of course that you are willing to put forth the effort.\n\nFor more information...contact me through my yahoo 360 page.

The most efficient way as a private person would be to set up a business. Most expenses, even buying yourself a car or going on vacation could be declared as investments reducing the actual taxable income...

Learn how to pick stocks.  You need to swing trade.  You need around 10K to start.  And you can be a millonaire in 10 years.  Keep in mind, you need to learn how to pick stocks first.  You can double every 6 months if you do.\n\nAside from that, learn how to play basketball like MJ, or sing like Mick Jagger, or talk smut like Howard Stern, or have a family name like George W Bush.\n\nI say picking stocks correctly is your best bet.

Legally make a million dollars?\n\nThe fastest way would be to win the lottery.  Unreliable, but legal and fast.\n\nOtherwise, start your own business with an innovative concept and work tirelessly building it into a million dollar enterprise.  You need drive, ambition, and brilliance to do this.\n\nFailing that, convince a very rich person that you are truly worthy of a one million dollar gift.

Be careful of those get-rich-quick schemes that are out there (i.e. "Work from home part-time, full-time and make $5,000+ a month").  \n\nInvestigate affiliate marketing and google adsense.  These are two methods by which people are making money on-line.  \n\nScott....

Not necessarily. Some wise man once said: there are three main ways to get rich:\n1) Inherit\n2) Marry a rich person\n3) Get lucky\n\nNow the last category captures a lot of situations. A simple one is winning the lottery. A less obvious one is making an investment or starting a business in an area that turns out to be the next big thing in 5 years. Of course, most of the people who do this and get rich will claim they are visionaries. In reality, 99% are just plain lucky. There is a very good book on this subject, called "Fooled by Randomness"

The simplest way to get rich is by starting with a millionaire mindset.  Always think "big".  Donald Trump said if he had to do it all over again, he would start with Network Marketing.  This is your own business that you can build while at your current job and when it surpasses your income, you can pursue it full time.\nDo your research and find a company in very good standing with the Better Business Bureau, be sure the compensation plan is outstanding and make certain you are confident in the product.\nOnce that is done, the sky is the limit!  \nI dedicate myself 100% to helping others achieve their dreams.

There are many different ways. Playing the lottery, reading self help books, applying for financial aid and going to college. It just depends on what he wants to do to get it done. There are really no quick ways to do this it takes time and patience so he shouldn't waste his money on those get rich quick schemes because they dont really work.  Or he could go into the real estate business buying cheap houses and cars that have been seized and foreclosed and fix them up and sell them for more so he can make a profit off of it.

Depends on your definition of rich. Are you looking for equity rich, or income rich? Are you looking to invest to keep, invest to rent or invest to flip. Obviously there a lot of questions that need to be answered first before you can make a determination on the path to take. A detailed business plan would be the best route for now. You can acquire wealth through real estate (a lot of people have), however they all have either researched the path or constructed a business plan to obtain those goals. Your question seems to ambiguous for a specific answer. If your just interested in swapping ideas, then you can contact me directly and we can swap ideas.

Wouldn't we all like to know the answer to this question? If indeed you had $10 million, there are a lot less risky ways to make lots of money, because you have quoted such a large sum. This is the fantasy that most people get caught in. They pose a valid question on an invalid premise.\n\nPeople with $10 million don't need to make more than 3-5% a year to get rich. They already are. You, on the other hand, will never get anywhere at the current interest rate on a CD of 3%.Thus the question concerning stocks.\n\nFirst, you would not put your entire investment into one basket. It was about this time seven years ago when I last owned Exxon stock. I'm a Petroleum Engineer, and know quite a bit about oil companies, and they had just discovered some big fields on the North Slope of Alaska. I woke up one morning, and found my IRA cut in half, when they spilled oil in the Port of Valdez.\n\nNow, I trade Index Futures on the stock market for a living. In my opinion, the Top in the stock market is already in, and direction is now down for several months. \n\nSome would tell you to diversify, but not by buying five different oil companies, you have to diversify across industries. But I would tell you that all ships rise and fall on the tide, unless you are an exceptional stock picker and fast enough to maneuver your boat to gain headway.\n\nThere are times when cash is King, and this is probably one of those times. If you're in a mutual fund, switch to the money market fund or a CD or Treasury Bill; just park it for now. The name of the game is preservation of capital.\n\nIf you really do have $10 million, lets start our own mutual fund. Write me at  dredude52@yahoo.com

There is no easy way of making millions unless you are lucky enough to win the lotto.  However, there is a great book to read that helps you understand the mind of the millionaire.  It is The One Minute Millionaire.\nThe website for them is www.oneminutemillionaire.com.  I reccomend the read.  It is good.  However, like I said there is no easy way. The only way is thru hard work continuing to learn.  I mean I feel the best way myself is opening a small business and working to make you clients happy.  The reason is repeat business is better than constantly getting new clients.

It would take a ton of luck.  You also would have to be willing to take a ton of risk and have it pay off multiple times.  \n\nRather than focusing on making an obscene amount of money, focus on making enough to provide for your needs and a reasonable  amount of your wants.\n\nOnce you get to the point of having the basics covered, more money does not make you happier.
