What do Billionaires Have in Common?
posted by agammy
I read a great article today on Forbes.com featuring common qualities possessed by billionaires, and advice for those looking to become ridiculously wealthy. (I know we’re all motivated by the desire to see others succeed . . . but a little cash never hurt anyone!)
The article suggests that great wealth is tied to three things:
- Your ability to face and move past failure
- Your capacity for innovation
- Support from a complementary life-partner
This all makes sense to me, I would add that in addition to these three things, it helps to have drive, and patience.
What else do you think contributes to the success of the mega-wealthy? I’d be curious to know what you’d add to the list.

I would add “adaptability”.
