Are You the Next Billionaire?
Did you know that the top 100 billionaires in the world own 1.3% of total world personal wealth? In 2017, Forbes put together a list of the 100 richest people in the world. Soon after, a British recruitment agency examined the list to discover if there’s any correlation between someone's first career move and how wealthy they eventually become. The company found that 30/100 of the top billionaires inherited or worked for a family business, 17 started their own business, and 53 of them worked for another organization.
