Billionaire Heiress

Some of the world's billionaires inherited their money, others such as Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates are self made building their empires. Warren Buffet, the riches man in the world with a net worth of 62 billion and one of the self made still lives in a house he bought many years ago for $31,500.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is among this group of people. She is the daughter of French billionaire Gerard Louis-Dreyfus and is best known as the Emmy- and Golden Globe Award-winning Seinfeld actress who played Elaine.

Warren Buffet becomes the richest American 

This article I wrote was originally posted on my Powerful intentions and the law of attraction lens but I thought it should also be added here...

This is the best example of the metaphysics of money. Joe Vitale sent me an email. (I am signed up for his emails) which also talks about this same idea which is that it is all about how we feel about money. If you fear poverty, you will create that. If you know you will be okay, you will be. If you know you can make money at this time like Warren Buffet than you will.

Warren Buffet made $8 billion dollars in the past week. It just goes to show that it is about your attitude. You do not need to be in fear. There is plenty of money out there. The world did not just suddenly lose it's money. Warren Buffet found and magnatized $8 billion to himself.

We can be the Warren Buffet's of the world. I see no reason to be mad at him nor feel he should share his money. We just have to learn to do what he does. What is his secret?

If someone knows how to dance they do not have an obligation to teach us to dance or share it with us, nor does a person with alot of money. Warren Buffet is a very generous man and has given away billions of dollars. At this time he has $58,000,000,000 net worth.

Amazing isn't it?

If he can magnatize that amount of money we can learn to be okay or wealthy also.

Believe me my husband and I got hit by this economic crisis last year. He was a lender(they are not the greedy ones). He made $100,000 a year. The real estate market, lenders and loan officers were already hit by this first before anyone else. When the economy slowed there first our income went away first. We lost our house last year. In my case my husband then had two heart attacks. So it has been quite a year. I still believe however we can be okay.

We moved out of California to Oregon where it is cheaper to live. So far we are doing okay.

We can all be okay during these times. In fact there is alot of opportunity at times like this. Warren Buffet and Joe Vitale know that.

Read Gia's the metaphysics of money for a great description on your attitude towards money

This is a great lens to read and see what your inner relation to money is. I agree with Ener-G on what she says on the topic. Check it out!

Bill Gates 

billionaire

Bill Gates tops the list of the world's billionaires with $59,000,000,000 as his net worth.

Bill Gates' home in Medina, Wash., is worth nearly $140 million. This year, he received a property tax bill for $1.1 million.

The house is a modern design in the Pacific lodge style, with classic features such as a large private library and a big dome-shaped room. The house occupies 50,000 square feet (4,600 m²) on a 5.15 acre (2.1 ha) lot. Garage space and outbuildings may occupy an additional 16,000 square feet (1,500 m²). Property records indicate eight bedrooms, 25 baths, and four building levels.

It has a 17 × 60 foot (5.1 × 18.2 meter) swimming pool.
An underwater music system and a fossil-motif floor. There is also a glass wall which can be divided.
A locker room off the pool has four showers and two baths.

Guest wing The southern half of the main building, this wing contains the main entrance (with grand staircase), theater, library, formal dining room, reception hall, and conference facilities. It includes only two bedrooms. 3. Library Size: 2,100 sq. ft. The ornate, paneled library has a domed reading room with oculus (light well), fireplace, and two secret pivoting bookcases, one hiding a bar. It's the fitting home for Leonardo da Vinci's 16th-century notebook, the Codex Leicester, which Gates about for $30.8 million. 4. Grand staircase Size: 92 feet long, 63 feet high Towering Douglas fir beams support the stainless-steel roof and are surrounded by walls of glass, concrete, and stone. While much of the house is buried into the hillside, windows on the lakefront side provide views of Seattle to the west. There are 84 steps down from the entrance to the ground floor. The vertigo-inclined can take an elevator. 5. Theater Size: 1,500 sq. ft. The 20-seat art deco theater is outfitted with plush chairs, couches, and a popcorn machine. Screen is HDTV capable. 6. Formal dining room Size: 1,000 sq. ft. Up to 24 guests can dine by the fireplace while enjoying the sweeping view from the third level. Nearby commercial-grade kitchen is 39 feet by 23 feet. 7. Offices and meeting facilities Size: 1,900 sq. ft. Above the reception hall are rooms for conferences, offices, and a large computer room. 8. Reception hall Size: 2,300 sq. ft. Partly below ground, the reception hall can seat 150 people for a sit-down dinner or hold 200 for a cocktail party. A 6-foot-wide fireplace, faced in limestone, commands one wall. Another wall is dominated by a 22-foot-wide video display, made up of 24 rear-projection television monitors, each with a 40-inch screen. A second commercial-grade kitchen serves the reception hall. 9. Multipurpose room Size: 900 sq. ft. Formerly designated a gallery, this is now a multipurpose room, with a video projector included. Almost entirely underground, with a deck above, the room gets daylight from a large light well. Hallways connect it to the family and guest wings.

Other buildings 10. Guest house Size: 1,900 sq. ft. One bedroom, one bath, one fireplace Almost hidden underground, this high-tech burrow was the first structure built on the site (completed in 1992), as a test of the technology to be used in the design of the main house. Gates has used the house as a retreat; he wrote much of his book, The Road Ahead, here. 11. Underground garage Size: 6,300 sq. ft. This cavelike structure is the largest and best hidden of three garages. Built entirely underground of concrete and stainless steel, it can easily park 10 or more cars. Some of the concrete is purposely broken for a "deconstructivist" look. 12. Gatehouse Size: 3,000 sq. ft. Includes security offices, mailroom (with X-ray machine), greenhouse, and garage. The lower entrance to the property is here. 13. Boathouse Size: 530 sq. ft. This rustic log building's roof straddle a small inlet big enough for no more than a ski boat. An outdoor spa is nearby. 14. Activities building Size: 900 sq. ft. Adjacent to multisport court, putting green, and two boat docks. An existing home at this location was moved off the site by barge.

OK. Patricia... this is one of the better lenses that I've seen about setting your sights higher. One of my favorite issues is the Forbes 100 Richest People list. It is fascinating and the truth of the matter is this... most of those folks were self-made billionaires.

Not too fussed about being a billionaire, I think money gives you time, how you use that time is then your choice, I would just like the opportunity to have the time - perhaps a couple of million would do - hope that makes sense
