Anyone can become a multi-millionaire

bigfreddiel

On CNBC today was a story about Ronald Read, a janitor in Canada.

Sadly he passed away aged 92, but it was then discovered he had amassed a fortune to the tune of £6,000,000!

Goes to show you don't need to be an expert financier or the help of an advisor to become a multi-millionaire.

Easy innit!

I'd settle for just being a millionaire. Multi millions are just a nice bonus

When you've made your first million you can't stop!

Well I can, I'm far to lazy!

Live for a long time, spend next to nothing and Invest in buy and hold strategies. =Die rich.

Confusing story. Leaves all his money to charity, didn't enjoy his wealth at all, would not buy himself anything. His family were surprised he had wealth which suggests he was not a generous man to those he knew.

You would think nearly anyone else would do things with the money that would change their lives and those around them.

Wasted opportunities.

How did you make your first mill? Any tips for a millionaire wannabe?

Property.

Have a look at David Buik's guest column in Money, page 3, Sunday Times 28th August 2016.

"What I should have done was to buy another property and rent it out."

And I can confirm a flat bought for £200k in 1998 is worth £840k, according to Zoopla. Don't forget the rent for the last 18 years.

I should have gone to Berlin, I hear it's gone up by a factor pf ten for similar time scale.

Maybe anyone can be a millionaire, however everyone can't be a millionaire unless being a millionaire is meaningless.

Nice bit of confirmation bias there. How do you know that he didnt use an advisor? How do you know that he didn't use a stockbroker?

Hey-ho...another day, another chance to tell everyone of your dislike of professionals and how much you're worth....

Property in Bangalore has done incredibly well. And in Chinese cities too. I bet property in big cities in Poland is a good investment opportunity.
