    Very Interesting. It only takes one brilliant idea at a time to make a million - just a pity these ideas are so few and far between and is sometimes not being recognised as brilliant!

    Great lens betsuzie - the advise of finding out what successful people do and model your thinking after them is priceless. You're right - we grew up in an era that told us to get a job, stay there, work hard and you too can have the American Dream. For many, it just doesn't work that way. You have to be willing to stick your head above the crowd, and sometimes swim upstream... not easy, but worth the effort!
  • betsuzie Feb 17, 2012 @ 11:03 am | delete
    I completely agree with you on that! I don't think we should rely on a job anymore to live the American dream of financial freedom, you need to do your own thing. Whatever that might be. For each person it's something a little different.

    Loved that you mentioned the wealth mindset. So many people get confused between a wealth mindset and a "get-rich-quick" mindset. Bravo on this lens!!
  • betsuzie Feb 17, 2012 @ 11:06 am | delete
    Yes, I think a lot of people don't want to wait for the wealth or sometimes can't wait for it to happen. But, I have learned that if you are persistent and have some patience, and don't stress over trying to get wealthy so fast it starts to happen :)

    Thank you for this rich input! I'll check out your also, to look for traffic advice, which is what I need for my websites.

    I did a career's assessment on the sons of a guy who was high on the rich list. I ended up feeling sorry for these charming lads; they could have anything, so nothing had value or real meaning.There was no way they could compete with his wealth, and the need to earn was taken out of the equation; so they had to look at different ways of proving themselves - they were very interesting cases.
  • socleva24 Dec 8, 2011 @ 10:19 am | delete
    Great post and nice to know that so many of the rich guys started out struggling.Of course it takes a lot of determination,hard work and luck to get to where they are now.
  • Todayhaspower Nov 10, 2011 @ 4:54 pm | delete
    Awesome to learn about some of these folks. Any women on the list? Just wondering. Great lens.
  • betsuzie Nov 10, 2011 @ 5:28 pm | delete
    Hi. Yes there is, thank you for asking. Her name is Liliane Bettencourt. She is the heir to French cosmetic giant, L'Oreal. Her net worth is $23.5 Billion.
  • Todayhaspower Nov 11, 2011 @ 12:41 am | delete
    Okay, any ladies on the list that are self-made billionaires? Oprah has to be fairly close.
    Maybe it will be you:)
  • betsuzie Nov 11, 2011 @ 9:09 am | delete
    I'm not surprised but Oprah is on the list. She's worth $2.4 Billion. But, Wu Yajun is number one, worth $3.9 Billion. As for me...Yes!! I will be on the list :) Stay tuned :))

    It's not easy and usually takes more luck than anything else. Being at the right place at the right time type things.

    Awesome lens
  • jaye5500 May 28, 2011 @ 6:19 pm | delete
    The whole aspect behind the lens is that we all can reach there! it's all about belief in oneself to succeed and going behind it! Not allowing it to be just a dream but a manifestation of reality!
  • spiritualll May 28, 2011 @ 12:27 pm | delete
    Americans are the reachest people in the world.

    I looked but I see they skipped me again for that list..lol. Nice lens though.
  • Banelisiwe Apr 21, 2011 @ 2:17 pm | delete
    One day I'll be on that list and effectively make it onto your Lens!! ;-)
  • noguifernandez Apr 11, 2011 @ 1:42 pm | delete
    Excellent lens! Really inspirational, but I really think that what attracts people is not really money, but the freedom that supposedly comes with it.
  • promotional-coupons-codes Apr 7, 2011 @ 3:45 am | delete
    Most inspiring lens. Most of the people want to be on that list me too but in a different way something different I just don't want to earn money but wisdom too that's the goal of my life
  • betsuzie Apr 7, 2011 @ 7:52 am | delete
    Hi, I agree with you about the wisdom. To gain wealth you need to gain wisdom. I read Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich". If you haven't read it already, I recommend checking it out.
  • RichLeigh Apr 6, 2011 @ 10:48 am | delete

    Hi Elizabeth, I just created a lens talking about rich people (http://www.squidoo.com/rich-people-talk) and I thought this lens was so great that I added it to my Featured Lens module (on the sidebar), so people would travel from my lens to yours. I'll lensroll it too!

    There are some other people that I would have like to see...the founders of youtube, and the founders of google!:)

    Other than that...great lens:d
