Bill Gates clarifies: Wealth does not equal a large bank account. Creation is key to riches.”

“A person wins the lottery or gambles. Winning $100 million won’t make you affluent. He is impoverished but wealthy. This is why 90% of lottery millionaires return to poverty after 5 years.

The tech billionaire added: Everyone has rich folks who can’t afford it. Examples: most businesspeople. Since financial intelligence is wealth, they are on their path to becoming rich even without money.

“How do rich and poor differ? Simply put, the rich can work themselves to death, but the poor remain impoverished. Know that a young man who graduates, learns, and improves is rich. A young man who thinks matters are honourable, thinks rich people are crooks, and criticises is impoverished.

Rich people believe they simply need information and training to take off, whereas poor ones believe others should pay them. Bill Gates stated that his daughter will not marry a poor man because of his ability to produce wealth.

Bill Gates continued: “Sorry, but most criminals are poor.” Money drives them insane, therefore they steal, rob, etc. It’s a blessing since they don’t know how to make money.



The bank manager received a bag of money one day from a man. This man is affluent but broke, but many call him an imbecile. One year later, the bank hired him as a receptionist, three years later he managed customers, and 10 years later he managed the regional branch. After managing hundreds of staff, his annual bonus has surpassed what he “picked up” before.

Bill Gates concluded: “Wealth is first of all a state of mind, my friends.”

Everyone in the hall applauded Bill Gates after his explanation. This view of the 68-year-old technology billionaire was accepted by the public due to his open, modern, and “farsighted” outlook.
