The Inspiration From The Self-Made Super Rich

April is a busy month for George Soros (George Soros). The billionaire is busy promoting his tenth books around the world.

He made headlines by calling for more regulation of hedge funds.

Rumor has it that he is considering buying a top Italy football club.

To achieve this goal, the 77 year old billionaire is still making a lot of money.

Last year, Soros aimed at business opportunities in the turbulent financial markets and returned to Soros Fund Management, his financial company.

Forbes predicted that he earned $2 billion 400 million in 2007 and second in Wall Street.

We estimate that the total net asset value of the hedge fund pioneer is as high as $9 billion.

Taking into account Soros's birth, he will leave a deeper impression on anyone.

At the age of 16, he fled from Hungary because Hungary was controlled by the Soviet Union.

During World War II, his Jewish family became almost penniless. So during his studies at the London School of economics, Soros worked on low paid jobs: Railroad porters, swimming pool attendants and waiters.

Is it dramatic?

Yes.

But among the wealthiest groups in the world, Soros's experience of starting from scratch is not uncommon.

2/3 of Forbes's 1125 super rich in 2008 were rich through their own efforts. Many of them came out of the same way as Soros.

For example, Kirk Kerkorian, 90 years old, is one of the veteran politicians on our list. Kirk,

When he was 4 years old, the bank confiscated his family farm.

Their family moved to Losangeles, and his father began to feed the family by selling watermelons.

After grade 8, Kirk had to drop out of school to earn money to pay for his family.

He earned money through various odd jobs, including working as a boxer in the name of "Rifle Right Kerkorian".

But his experience as a fighter pilot during World War II helped him set up a charter company.

He sold it in 1966 and got $104 million from it.

Ryan's Las Vegas casino and hotel business has made it the forty-first richest in the world.

When Forbes released the latest list of the world's billionaires in March, the net assets of the melon seller's son had reached $16 billion.

Roman Abramovich, an orphan at the age of 4, now ranks fifteenth in the world's richest list by virtue of its net assets of $23 billion 500 million.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russians excavated the first barrel of gold through the controversial oil trade.

He then completed a more profitable paction, which was far below the market value of the oil giant Siberia oil company (Sibneft).

Since then, he has set foot in steel, mining and football.

Abramovich is now the boss of the English football giants Chelsea.

Li Jiacheng, a 26 billion 500 million year old man, started working in a factory when he was only 15 years old when his father died early.

He quit the job after he started making and selling plastic flowers.

This career has developed into Cheung Kong Industries.

Li Jiacheng has become the world's largest container terminal operator and the world's largest retailer of health and beauty products through Cheung Kong and another joint venture, Hutchison Whampoa.

The former factory worker now enjoys the reputation of "Superman". He was knighthood by Queen Elizabeth and ranked eleventh on the list of the world's richest men.

It is unbelievable that Oprah Winfrey, a media tycoon, was born in a poor family in the Mississippi countryside.

After her parents divorced, she had to move to and from several families and once lived in a pig farm.

Despite the family disruption, Wen Furui's academic record was excellent.

She aspire to be in the media industry and never flinch from it.

When she was still in high school, she began to work as radio DJ.

At the age of 19, Winfrey began to host a local news programme in Nashville (Nashville).

In 1984, she came to Chicago to host an early talk show.

Her ability to incite guests and her approachable character made her popular.

Now, her shows are being broadcast in 135 countries, attracting only 46 million viewers a week in the US.

As a result of the success of the program and other media businesses, including a magazine, Forbes estimated that the net assets of Winfrey were $2 billion 500 million.

This is pretty good for a rural girl from Mississippi.
