How much do we know about the life of rich people? All information is taken from the media for reading articles and watching videos and pictures. Against this background, many begin to mistakenly assume that wealth is always easy and simple, and that the rich will necessarily “squander” money left and right. Let’s figure it out.
Penny to penny
How does wealth appear? Naturally, with great savings on everything! And this is the wrong answer. Wealth depends solely on hard work and the competent distribution of finances. Yes, before achieving fabulous success, many millionaires saved significantly, but this was done wisely. Then, having become rich, they only increased their dividends.
Wealthy people do not really squander money as they like. Everything is based on the purchase of the right things, albeit expensive, but of high quality, which do not have to be replaced every year. They do not tremble over every penny, but also do not make rash and, moreover, useless acquisitions.
Spirit of adventure
Another common misconception is that every decision is carefully weighed. Yes, of course, rich people, before agreeing to a deal, assess the prospects.
Nevertheless, investments are made not only in large projects, as many believe, but also in small business. The rich often support a start-up business, helping to advance. Sometimes investments burn out, sometimes not, but no one is afraid to take risks and make a contribution to a cause that actually seems interesting.
But along with this, rich people do not have the motto: "Live in the present!" They always have backup options and reserved resources just in case.
Success in everything!
Behind wealth is not always worth success in all matters. Many famous rich people started from the bottom, passing through various obstacles, burned out, lost money and started over.
Even millions in the account are not a sign of absolute success. As noted in the previous myth - not every transaction generates income, not every business becomes profitable.
One way or another, rich people also have to face the most common problems: from finances to family and relationships with the outside world.
Wealth is the greater of evils
This error is not just a myth, but a real button accordion. It has long been known that rich people do not have a bad character and do not try to harm everyone around. The days of landowners mocking their servants have passed, now everything is completely different.
People who have the opportunity to communicate with more influential representatives of society have repeatedly noted that the rich are sometimes even more open and polite.
In this case, a certain pattern is observed:
The richer the person, the more humble, calmer and friendlier.
At the same time, another question arises: why do the rich need charity? Some with cynicism suggest that the thing is money laundering; in fact, everything is much simpler and more noble.
Many wealthy charities such as Dustin Moskowitz (founder of Facebook) Natalya Vodyanova (model), Keanu Reeves (actor), Konstantin Khabensky (Russian actor), note that such activities bring them joy.
Some famous personalities began to engage in charity on the background of their own misfortune or when faced with problems. Learning from a personal example, how difficult it is to cope with trouble, they decided to help others.
It's all about business dynasties
It would not be desirable to say that this statement is a myth; in fact, it is not completely such. Many rich and famous really leave their business and millions to children, thus forming a whole dynasty. But in this case, there are nuances.
Current billionaires and millionaires often began their work from scratch. Few of them had real financial support and wealthy parents who could pay all the whims and expenses of starting their own business.
Recently, a trend towards depriving children of wealthy parents has become increasingly prevalent. In particular, it began with the decision of the notorious Bill Gates, who bequeathed after his death all his money to a charitable foundation. Gates commented on his decision as follows:
“They will not get billions. They must understand that work is an important component of our life, and we must work! ”
As it turned out, the views of the billionaire are also shared by others: singer Sting, Russian businessman Mikhail Fridman, the world's largest investor Warren Buffet, Chinese tycoon Yu Penyan, businessman Vladimir Potanin.
Of course, the question of inheritance is rather sensitive, and in some places the decisions of rich people are quite shocking. What are only testaments in which millions remain animals!
