Hello friends!
There are two types of billionaires. The one type is those that made their money by themselves - through entrepreneurial means. This is the type that we are really interested in studying, as they can give us clues as to what rich wannabes like ourselves can do to become rich. The second type, however, didn't have to do much to get the money they have. At most, they had to manage family fortunes, already accumulated for them - that's all!
Well, our guest today is of the second variety. His name was Osman Ali Khan and he was a Prince of an Indian state before the unification of the country. You can read his biography here - the typical biography of royalty. What is interesting for us, however, is that his fortune at his highest point in 1937 was $225 billion and he was noted by Time magazine as the wealthiest man in the world in that year. That is the same year Rockefeller passed away, of course.
And now, on to the question: could I provide you with an inspiring quotation by our guest of the day? And the answer is: unfortunately not. But I could instead provide you with an interesting article about him and his activities: read more here.
Have a great day and keep on thinking and growing rich!
