How to Make a Billion Dollars Fast and Easy

Have You Always Wanted to Be a Billionaire. Here is a Quick Guide on How to Do it with Your Investments

Lex Loeb
So you want to be a billionaire? You need to start with the necessary math. If you start with 1000 dollars of capital to create your dream fortune you will need to buy 1000 million dollar homes for $1 each in foreclosure and then find a way to pay the taxes, mortgages payments and for the up keep. $1 each really just means buying them for $1 down. In order to gain equity in your homes purchased you will have to rent your 1000 mansions for more than the costs involved in keeping them in your property inventory. That will not necessarily be easy. The market for renting mansions is probably more limited than for renting cheap apartments. Considering renting them by the room or turning them into a bed and breakfast empire where you can rent a single room per night for a few hundred dollars or more netting enough to pay your holding costs. Your billion dollars is not free and clear equity but your net worth might be a billion dollars in terms of assets.

Start with a little more money say 10,000.00 and wait for Citigroup, or AIG shares to go down to 1 cent each and buy one million shares then wait for the shares to appreciate to $1000 each. It might take 400 years or more for that to happen but then you will have your billion dollars. If your citigroup shares do appreciate going from just one cent to $50 each you will have net worth of 50 million dollars. That is a start.

Save your money longer and get $100,000 dollars ready to invest and wait for Citigroup shares to fall to 1 cent each and wait for them to appreciate to $100 each before the next major market crash in 20 years and for a few moments before the crash your net assets will be one billion dollars before the shares collapse back to 1 cent each or less.

There is a better faster way to get your billion dollars or maybe even up to a trillion dollars and that is to use your seed money to borrow as much money as possible and then go out and buy as many mcMansions or failed Citibank one cent shares. The point being made in this article is that the average billionaire did a lot more than just buying up depressed assets at cost. Many of them took very high risk gambles with over extended leverage betting on financial success. It can take years to turn unlimited borrowed leverage into solid capital equity. There are notable exceptions to gaining your first billion dollars without a lot of leverage you could become the next Oprah or Paul McCartney. Easier yet is using Futures trading where it is possible to get 400 to 1 leverage deal. There are not too many examples of billionaires that made over a billion dollars that way. There is an easier way. Take your savings and hire the most expensive lobbyists to go to Washington, DC and have them argue that you need a 700 billion dollar bail out. Have your lobbyists ready to convince senators and representatives that you are too big to fail and that it is in the national interest.

    Guerrilla Billionaire strategy is probably just as risky but more aggressive. Compound interest alone is not enough but a compound return on investment and compounding interest in regard to acquisitions would certainly help. Some of the business pirates have done pretty well but usually they don't get away with it when companies are strong and defensive. Many of the big rich real estate investor families in the US really did more compounding of interest with the aid of borrowed money countering inflation to gain larger and larger holdings that eventually become relatively debt free and then cash cow cash flow machines. A large percentage of listed billionaires have wealth founded on renting out real estate and or developing it especially ultimately converting inexpensive apartment buildings to excessively priced condominiums with returns that can be well over double digits in the best markets. Imagine compounding interest at the rate of over 50% which can and does happen with good

    What is the Guerrilla Strategy? Definitely curious about that possibility! There are some things I won't do. Like living in the jungle. At the edge of the Jungle maybe? It is not that I don't like the Jungle. I do but only during the day time. Let me tell you night in the jungle is really something else.

    That is another story. If you mean going out and joining some underground revolution of pirates it is usually less effective in building wealth than Trading with willing sellers. Sounds like a good title for a book . Problem is few people actually aspire to becoming billionaires which is because the ones that do already have at least 100 million dollars and that gives a fair chance of achieving a billion with compound interest. The million dollar threshold has never been reached by any gorillas even in the best of zoos. Don't worry about me I will never be a billionaire but I could write a best selling book on how to become one by accident at least in fiction. In my stu

    The Guerrilla Billionaire strategy is far more realistic.

    Interesting..

    Unfortunately this analysis does call for the need for excessive leverage for the really ambitious poor.

    Self made billionaires tend to be extreme risk takers, even when unaware of the risks. Those who rise
    to that level of asset control , which is not always an indicator of true wealth, are rare survivors,
    The Darwin evolution analogy in biology is about risky mutations. Most mutations do not result in survival
    nor ultimate success.
