>Has anyone actually become a billionaire from nothing
Of course. Even with Bitcoin.

>>18678036
Any boxer who made it big. Probably only millionaires though.

>>18678036
>it takes money to make money
It's retardedly hard to escape poverty. Even in the land of the murican dream.

>>18678178
Its not hard if you do shady/illegal shit

>>18678036
holy shit I just looked up Notch Perrson dude is most based guy of all time.

>>18678178
That's because poverty is largely correlated with genetics. Less neurons = less money

>>18678206
Yeah getting rich illegaly is probably easier. Getting rich legitimately is very hard without a support networks

>>18678243
>less neurons = less money
retard

You will live your entire life not understanding how stupid this statement is

>>18678273
He rite doe niggas dyin makin dis bread

was zuck connected? thought he was just from a family that made 120k and got into harvard

Here is a red pill (black pill if you don't take the red ) on becoming very rich: you won't make it unless you have big start up capital and/or connections with money, its not as simple as getting an idea one day and applying it to real life, most of the shit you see these days wasn't made from scratch, the idea was stolen off some cuck and rearranged to make it better and then claim credit for it. Posting "motivation" quotes and watching those gay videos and eating some salad won't get yo anywhere

Jay-Z was born lower class and is a billionaire now. There are a few that made it, but most billionaires actually started out as millionaires at birth.

Oprah

jeff epstein

>>18678303
you forgot the relevant part of his name

>>18678303
He got funded by DARPA to build Facebook. His project was basically funded by the NSA, so no I wouldn't call him self-made.

>>18678085
sorry bro but you gotta go

There are some, but even the vast majority of those just got retardedly lucky rather than had large amounts of skill.
J.K.Rowling comes to mind, she just got lucky that a publisher picked up her godawful books.
I want to say musk and bezos as well, but I don’t know how wealthy musk was before he made his billions on paypal(?) and I’m pretty sure bezos was just sitting around in a bookstore for decades before being the first person to figure out that dropshipping is lucrative.

>Consequently to being pulled over for the minor infraction, Gates, who is Jewish, admits he verbally accosted the ‘goy’ cop after leveling a durable litany of insults against him which ultimately led to his arrest.

>>18678548
Musk came from a big South African mining family. Bezos was a partner at DE Shaw hedge fund before amazon plus family gave him 300k.

>>18678548
Bezos' parents invested $250,000 in Amazon in 1995 to help get it off the ground.

Ahem

>>18678036
Rockefeller

>>18678099
she was from a very wealthy family idiot

>>18678455
yeah because he fuckin sold crack and became rich before he broke into the rap scene

>>18678634
This. Rockefeller came from a poor bigamist marriage and made it. Andrew Carnegie too.

Andrew Carnegie

Ray Dalio?

>>18678634
>>18678662
Very good choices anon. I'd recommend Ross Perot too.

>>18678654
wow he sold drugs, who cares, he still went from lower class to billionaire status, which is extremely rare and fairly impressive in itself

>>18678036

most billionaires in the us are made, not born. most billionaires outside the us are born, not made.

>>18678036
zuckerberg wasn't wealthy i think? his friend gave him 20k loan for facebook or so?

there are many examples for decillinoaires tho e.g. john carmack (got arrested at 14 for stealing an apple ii from his school)

>>18678548

Paul McCartney pulled it off and a few other British boomer musicians could have if they didn't get tax cucked and spend huge amounts on drugs and divorces (Elton John, Sting, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Roger Waters, Eric Clapton)

>>18678790
Father was a dentist, pulling in 500k max. Got Zuck a CS tutor at like 10 to train him. Went to Philips Exeter to befriend WASP benefactors. Went to Harvard to hookwink Winklevii and boom Facebook.

>>18678823
that's weird because "social network" displays it like zuck needed the 20k loan from his friend to keep afloat lol
but it's a clearly fictional movie so w/e

>>18678206
That's how most of them do it. Then they reach a point where they have don't have to do that stuff anymore.

>>18678428
>Here is a red pill (black pill if you don't take the red ) on becoming very rich: you won't make it unless you have big start up capital and/or connections with money
very false. especially in this age of internet with streamers, youtubers, game/app devs and such
>Posting "motivation" quotes and watching those gay videos and eating some salad won't get yo anywhere
yes but those who make those videos are getting rich

>>18678036
quite a few just go through the Forbes billionaire list.

>>18678887

>zuckerberg wasn't wealthy i think?
He went to one of the most expensive schools in the US

>>18678844
>That's how most of them do it.
Right
>Then they reach a point where they have don't have to do that stuff anymore.
I'm not so convinced of this.

Seth McFarlane might be a billionaire. He was asked about it on the Howard Stern show.
He said he definitely wasn't in terms of liquid assets (duh), but hadn't sat down to compute it.

Peter Thiel funded it you absolute fucking idiot

>>18678711

Officially tested at 138 IQ at age 7 here. Currently make six figures have half a mil in net worth. You are a retard.

>>18678990

>>18679055

>>18678036
Well women just need to find a smelly music industry / Hollywood kike and suck his mutilated cock to make it. Men have it a little harder, they actually have to accomplish things.

>>18679029
he made a few millions with his music and then was smart enough to invest his money instead of wasting it, unlike other rappers. That was basically it.

>>18678711
it's pretty easy to become a millionaire from selling drugs, so I'd say he cheated

>>18678243
>>18679055
178 IQ billionaire here.
you are absolutely correct, long-term. there are some lottery winners but in 10 years it all evens out and wealth directly corellates to intellgience.

>>18678940
steve jobs is a good answer to ops question. he didnt grow up poor, he was middle class

>>18678864
>yes but those who make those videos are getting rich
He was talking very rich. Not millionaire. In any case, those youtube are not a lot. Perhaps a few thousands worldwide. Hopium for the masses. Capitalism is based on hopium and acceptance.

>>18678036
plenty of poos and other asians
poor people have the same chance to be billionaires than rich ones
smart people have more chance to be rich
