How does one become obscenely rich?

>>2292226
By being born rich.

Are you Jewish?

1. Be born into it.
2. Luck into it by means of a lottery or stock market.
3. Luck into it by being the first to conquer a huge unexplored market.
4. Luck into it by publishing the next big piece of popular garbage fiction.

Basically these four.

>>2292251
>stock market
>finding an unexplored market
skills, not luck

>>2292226

Hard work and dedication, of course

:^)

>>2292280
Fuck off commie

>>2292268
skill improves your chances
the chance itself is still luck

>>2292282

I am confused friend :)

I pointed out the obviously true fact that all rich people achieved their wealth by their greater skills and talents. Even those born rich would have lost it if they were not genetically superior to their competitors. ;)

Which is why, with very little effort, I can name someone born with nothing who is now very rich. The only reason I don't write their name right now is because I don't need to, not because it is in any way difficult to think of someone.

>>2292309
calculating your chances is a skill
if you are skilled you will be making profits on average

>>2292330
Only if you have enough capital to offset the faulty bets you take, and by that point you are already filthy rich.

Sanders is worth barely more than 500k. Hardly what someone would care "obscenely rich", and far from what politicians like Clinton have made.

>>2293291

Are you telling me that someone who makes around $200,000 a year as a senator, of which he has been since 1991 and was a Mayor before that, is struggling financially? Or, maybe, just maybe, he duped you too?

>>2292226
Being sufficient motivated and talented. If you wanted to make tons of money, you would.

"Obscenely rich" and "not struggling" are two completely different things, although that's an impressive red herring you've fished up by equating them.

>>2293348
Being a multi-millionaire and within the top 1% of the population in terms of wealth most definitely puts you into the 'obscenely rich' category.

I hate to say it, I really do, but check your privilege.

But he's not a multimillionaire
http://moneynation.com/bernie-sanders-net-worth/

Other sources I see put him at a max of 1.26 million, which if I read correctly, means if you were to include assets with his wife.

Even if this was true, this is a paltry sum compared to his Congressional peers. More power to him anyway, he works his ass off for a man of his age.

>>2293671

You're own picture states that he is infact, a multimillionaire.

Why do you compare him against those who have more instead of those who have less?

>The 1% of global wealth

So, making more than $33k/yr? Just be born in an easy mode country like the U.S. and get any job at all.

>>2295551
How is making $33k a year to cover food rent and a smartphone subscription in the first world any different from making $400 a month to cover food rent and a smartphone subscription in the third world any different?

>>2295560
>400 a month to cover food rent and smartphone
Nowhere on the planet is this cheap.

>>2295570

Quite a large number of people in the world earn about a dollar a day. 400 a month is decentish income in a mid ranked country.

>>2295585
Nah not really. I'm originally from a pretty poor country (Eastern Europe) and it's impossible to live on 400 dollars a month, literally.

>>2295597

Eastern Europe is hardly that poor.

>>2295607
Well it is poor compared to the US and western Europe.

>>2295618

Yes, but not compared to anywhere in the entire planet. There's places where you could live the high life for $400 a month and I replied to someone claiming that wouldn't cover food, rent and a smartphone anywhere on Earth.

>>2295622
>There's places where you could live the high life for $400 a month
Like? I wanna move there if that's true.

>>2295597
>>2295607
It is not poor, but it is still no way to live. To have any kind of surplus you have to stop wasting time on 4chan, you have to queue at the food bank and remember to soak beans and eat peasant grul, you have to hope you don't get ill, you have to bend over backwards to find ways to make money and most of the time you will fail, you don't have time for bitches. After all this what do you get? You are a subnormy at best.

I couldn't find anything about their rent costs, how much is a 3 room apartment in there?

Obscene riches tends to be a relay.

Father to son, inheriting the money and business.

>>2295656

God knows, but if the the average income is $30 a month and you have $400 a month to spend I'm sure you can afford it. I doubt they're all living in the same house.

>>2295676
I'm pretty sure if they're that poor then fucking nobody is renting there and most of the country just lives in cardboard slums and mud huts.

That's why you're going to have ten wives living in your supersized mud hut.

>>2295698
You said people are living "high life" on 400 a month. Living in a mud hut is hardly high life.

>>2295704

A big property, tonnes of bitches and a smartphone and no financial worries.

What more could you possibly want?

There is only one autobiography that I'm aware written by someone who was actually self-made and not some silverspoon faggot who got capital from his rich dad. "How to be rich" by Felix Dennis.

He explains it better than anyone else has, but it still isn't a foolproof venture.

>>2295718
>muh bitches
Literally who gives a fuck. Getting your cock wet in some AIDS infested negresses is not rich life.

Don't worry. You can afford the ones without AIDS

I wouldn't know how they format posts on Reddit. And it's quite clear who's being ridiculous here.

>>2295748
You said high life, faggot.

>>2295761

The discussion started with this claim >>2295570

I'm sorry my idea of the "high life" wasn't quite suited to the anon's hopes and dreams.

>>2295764
>high life is having a smartphone
I'm 100% positive that someone with 40k in America can afford more shit than anyone with 400 bucks a month anywhere on Earth.

>>2295570
Are you going by the Eastern Europe standard where living with an unrelated room mate is considered weird/shameful?

Because let me tell you most young people in the first world who are on their own and not getting daddybux can't afford an apartment without a psycho roommate either.

Shit is legitimately fucked yo.

>>2295772
The average median income in the US is like 55k a year. You can afford to live on your own with that unless you're in a hyper expensive shithole like NYC or SF.

>>2295769
>I'm 100% positive that someone with 40k in America can afford more shit than anyone with 400 bucks a month anywhere on Earth.

I'm confused by what your point is now. An American on 40K a year is richer than 99% of the world's population, which was my point to begin with.

>>2292239
>first answer, best answer

>>2295795
Then we're in agreement. I was objecting to that faggot who claims having 400 dollarydoos a month will make you the king of Tanzania or some shit.

>>2295792
People aren't exactly pouring into SF and NYC for the food and the night life.

It's either make a decent salary and split an apartment in a major city or make poverty wage and split an apartment in a post industrial hell hole.

>>2295811
>split an apartment
You keep repeating this and it's still not true. I earn 60k and I can afford a 3 bedroom in a major city no problem without having to share it with some nigger junkie.

>>2295808

Not king, probably a minor tribal chief. It depends on what your idea of the "high life" is. I will happily agree that if all you want is loads of consumer tat then $400 dollars a month in a developing country isn't going to go that far.

If you wanted a nice place, all the best food and drink available and wenches hanging off your dick then you would be better with the $400 a month in a dirt cheap country.

And the wording "high life" was a throwaway comment anyway in a discussion started by someone claiming $400 a month wasn't even enough to pay for food, rent and smartphone anywhere in the world, which was the actual point of the whole conversation.

>>2295829
Stop with this shit about women.

>>2295826
So you're making $60k a year and living in a three bedroom apartment all by yourself...just because? Friendo if you're telling the truth you should acknowledge you're very far removed from the norm at the least.

>>2295842
>just because
Bedroom + computer/living room + one room where I keep shit for working out, a tiny gym.

>you're very far removed from the norm
You can get a decent apartment for less than a thousand if you don't live on the coast. It very much is the norm.

>>2295840

Sorry for offending your delicate sensibilities.

>>2295658
why are you so mad, I'm essentially agreeing with you, while you might not be as poor as someone who guts fish in the slums of Kolkata you are still pretty poor and it would take a herculean effort to get out of your situation and become a mere subnormy

>>2295851
Well that's good to hear. But going back to the original baseline of $33k/year...Yeah you're going to be splitting an apartment.

>>2295641
>The GDP per capita of the Central African Republic is $364 a year.

And you think the average person there is "living the high life?"

>>2295889
The people who share an apartment are typically students or minimum wage earners, so way below 33k. If I can afford a 3 bedroom for 60k then you can afford a studio or something with 33k. Just move the fuck away from California.

>>2295893

>this lack of reading comprehension.

No, obviously not.
