How long did it take the world’s super-rich to earn their first million?

Eight years, apparently.

Also:

On average the world’s richest earned their first million at age 36 with most making their fortune through their own business ventures.

Shit, I’m 37 already. What have I been doing with my life?

Oh yeah… traveling the world and stuff 😜

If you’ve also spent more than 36 years on this rock already, keep in mind people like Ray Kroc, who was 52 years old before he had his big business breakthrough with McDonald’s.

(Kroc’s autobiography is well worth a read, btw.)
