It seems appropriate.

Though I suppose every millionaire became a millionaire in three years, if you only start counting from three years before they became a millionaire.

I have a brilliant idea, But for this to work, one has to be a billionaire.

Get on the phone with Michael Milken and raise a few $100 million by selling junk bonds to eager investors if your idea is high-growth (note: he's banned from the industry but it's how a few billionaires got started).

He has a couple more past businesses too. I'm not sure it matters though; he knows how to make money. The only real difference is volume.

On the last point: anything dealing with ISO, Quality Assurance or auditing for big bisnesses will sell well. It is a massively underdeveloped market.

Anybody with a minimum-wage job knows how to make money. Volume is a pretty big difference.

They are earning, which is a completely different thing.

If it is easier to parse replace money with wealth in my original post.
