Five Strange Habits of Billionaires

Successful people are successful for a reason. There is a long list of things that they did which contributed to their extreme wealth and success. Billionaires are just people like us. They have habits that normal people have and some that are unique (to say the least). Today, we round up five of the strangest habits of the wealthiest people on the planet.

Swimming Against the Current

Some of the earth’s billionaires did what others feared of doing. They did something extremely different which led them to a successful outcome. 

Think of Warren Buffett. He invested his money in business other investors are scared of failing. Where is he now? Up there, sitting as one of the top 5 wealthiest people in the world. Bill Gates did not want to create programs other developers are rushing to release in the market. He focused on what people do not currently need but would become a necessity once they experience it. 

Do not think of it as a race. Break the walls that prevent you from straying away from the path. You do not need others to understand your vision right away. Big risks lead to big rewards.

Cutting Corners on What’s Unnecessary

The richest people do not care about what they wear or what they drive. They let their actions and bank accounts do the talking. Bill Gates wears simple clothes. Mark Zuckerberg drives a Volkswagen GTI. Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google, still shops at Costco.

The popular teenage verbal adage is a fitting statement here: “Don’t go broke just trying to look rich.”

They Are Independent

Probably one of the most popular generalizations of a billionaire is someone living in a large mansion, complete with butlers. We’re sorry to burst your bubble, but this isn’t always the case. Charlie Ergen, chairman of Dish Network, packs his own lunch. Every. Single. Day.

While it is true that ultra-billionaires surround themselves with people that support and nurture a caring environment for them; it doesn’t mean that they are lazy. It doesn’t mean that they are helpless and need to be taken care of all the time. 

They fail

The reality is, billionaires wouldn’t be successful if they never failed in their entire life. I challenge you to name one ultra-successful entrepreneur who never faced any barriers. No one, right?

Failures set billionaires apart from others. Ultra-successful people understand that failures are part of everyday matters in the business. They understand that these failures are just bumps in the road. Jeff Bezos and his failed attempts to overtake eBay in the 1990’s. Amazon has made questionable business decisions in the past, but look at where they are now.

Billionaires know that failure is a component in success. They embrace it and learn from it. 

They Take Care of Themselves

This is an often taken-advantage part of humans. The top billionaires in the world invest a lot of their wealth in taking care of themselves. They aren’t the stereotypical “eat all you can” type.
