For me it's too soon to predict...

But i expect net worth of 500 Million Euro by the age of 35 (26 now and counting)

Source of revenue:
Series of big websites, satelite&cable TV stations, private investment funds and new venues that i have not discovered yet...

Jes, what is it about?

The important thing is that if you work hard on your project the capital will appear..

500 MM is a lot i agree.. that is why it is so much fun...

I think i will pull my first million in about year and half if i work on my project with 100% zeal and commitment..

I don't think of getting 500 MM € all in one bunch, nor do i think of 1 MM € all in one bunch, nor do i think of 100K €. I think in terms of day by day. Getting from 0€ in operating capital to 1000€ in operating capital. Then from that 1000€ to 10000€, from 10000 to 100000€....

I don't want to burn another 40000 € on some bunked idea that i had last time and melt it like it's butter on hot summer day...

If you go step by step starting from your living room office you can go a long way with one small server and adsl line... All it takes is commitment and little bit of insanity!

Haha well said, I'm 100% postive that when you ask a random stranger there opinion about a common topic here. Say for instance you ask a stranger;
What is your life's purpose?
They'd just go WAAAAA??? while looking completely weirded out.

Thats what I absolutely love about this forum, its the epitome of freedom in thinking.

Its funny if you think about it, most politicians are BIG on freedom of expression. The funny thing is that society has a nasty habit of bringing the people who are completely original down. They will put all kind of peer pressures on you just so your similar to everyone else.

Just cut yourself off completely, it worked for me although I wasn't exactly addicted.

Looking back now it seems really silly to sit infront of a box watching a screen where imaginary characters are doing imaginary things. I want to move towards a appartment soon and I don't think I'll even bother to get a tv...

When where you truly happy and excited?
Was it behind the tv or somewhere else?

Really really nice, living in sick abundance of money is always nice.


Its interesting to note that if most people get half way or even a quarter of the way to there 'goal' that there still filthy rich. I wonder what kind of reactions you'd get if you asked random strangers on the streets, I'd bet the numbers would be much lower or the question would get ridiculed.

Hmmm thats actually a nice experiment to try lol.

" 200 years from now, my net worth will be $0. I hope my legacy will be worth more." - Angela

While I understand that I can't keep my money forever, I'm creating a legacy with my money.

In addition, my money will outlive me and provide a stable future, free of monetary worries for my family.

About that last part, be carefull with 'free of monetary worries'. Teach them that they need to work for there money, if they don't learn that the end result might be them pissing away your hard earned money.

I always start with a small goal and increase it when I reach it. Eg. if I would set a goal to make $100M I would have no clue how to do it. But if I've already made $1M, and $10M, and $50M before, it would look easy. For some reason, I like easy goals that can be reached soon. I just like some kind of rapid reward/feedback/satisfaction. Steve is a bit different when it comes to sexy goals

So, my current goal is to have $1M in cash/stocks before I am 25.

My even more current goal is to earn $5k a month this or at the beginning of the next year. (I can save and invest 90% of my income )

I wish success to everyone! And join the MDE, for your sake, it works! Money came to my life in a ways I couldn't even imagine before.

That is necessary! I already have in mind how to teach my future children management of money. For example, my grand-grand parents had cca. 5-10 Million Euro net worth if it was translated into today's money.. blown away...

all that is rest is cca. 750 K Euro (this is Croatia, not US or EU, if it was US the price would be augmented by X5 ) family house that is going to ruins just because there is no unity in the family...

What i will do is give substantial capital and education to my kids so they will be able to get into business very early, and the rest of the money and assets will not be transfered to them but will be established as a charity organisation. This way they will not turn on me when my time here will get close to an end but will have their own lives that will preoccupy them. It was not once i saw how old richer and rich people get treated by their sons and daughters, this is something i really want to bypass.

Also wit that kind of money (over 100 MM Euro) i will think of augmenting my life span here for me and my spouse so we could enjoy this reality for long long time... there are some really big breakthroughs today so why not get advantage out of them?!
