A specialist in the introduction into the circle of the rich revealed how to identify a very rich person in a crowd

The lives of rich people are of particular interest to us. Everyone wants to know the details of their luxurious life, see private islands, huge houses, futuristic yachts and supercars with their own eyes.



But contrary to our expectations, many of the billionaires on the Forbes list lead a rather modest existence. Contrary to stereotypes, they completely reject the race for the external attributes of wealth.

Former Microsoft employee Mike Galos shared a photo on Facebook in which we see the founder of Microsoft and the owner of a fortune of $ 122 billion in the queue for burgers.



When you're worth about $100,000,000,000, run the largest charity in the history of the world and stand in line for a...

“When you have almost $100 billion, you have the largest charity in the history of the world and you’re standing in line for a burger, potatoes and coke like any of us.” That’s how rich people behave, Mike said.



Back in 2008, one of the richest people on Earth quit his daily job at Microsoft for charity. He recently admitted to wearing a $10 watch his entire life.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who earned more than $97 billion at the beginning of 2021, leads an extremely modest lifestyle.



In the wardrobe of the founder of the largest social network you will not find clothes from famous brands. For many years, the billionaire wears simple monochromatic T-shirts, sneakers and jeans.

Like Bill Gates, Mark is passionate about fast food. After his wedding, he and his wife Priscilla visited McDonald’s. The ceremony was celebrated in the backyard of the house with dinner with burgers.



Zuckerberg drives a Volkswagen Golf with a manual transmission. His official salary is just $1, and in December 2015 he announced he would donate 99% of his shares to charity.

A friend of Bill Gates and the most famous investor in the world occupies the eighth line of the Forbes list with a fortune of about $ 90 billion. At the same time, he lives in a small house, which he bought in 1958 for (horrible to say) 30 thousand dollars.

GettyImages: My life just couldn't be happier than it is now. In fact, it would be much worse if I owned 6 or 8 houses. “I have everything I need, I don’t need anything more, because at some point luxury doesn’t make any sense,” Warren Buffett said in 2014.

On January 7, 2021, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX became the richest person on the planet with a fortune of $ 185 billion.



GettyImages Elon is difficult to count among the modest. The Inventor of the Future, as he has been dubbed by fans, owns three mansions in the vicinity of Los Angeles with a total value of about 100 million. But not so long ago, the brilliant entrepreneur promised to sell all his real estate to invest in the preparation of a flight to Mars.

I am selling almost all physical possessions. Will own no house.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 1, 2020



While plans to colonize Mars still sound like a science fiction story, Musk doesn’t stop. And we can only hope that his talent and amazing determination will one day turn the impossible into reality.

As you can see, our heroes from the Forbes list became owners of huge wealth, but at some point they realized that money is not a goal, but only a means to help make dreams come true. And if you are really obsessed with your business, then at the end of the road you will definitely succeed.
