Just completed eBook "Zero to Billions: Anyone Can, 18 Israeli Self-made Billionaires: 4 Surprises and 4 Unaswered Questions" in Amazon Kindle.


I know anything to do with Jewish Billionaires is controversial.  It is sort of an open secret that the Jewish people are the best entrepreneurs in the world.   So, what are the surprises.

My first big surprise is 5 of them made their money in mining and diamonds.  Israel, the Startup Nations, with more companies listed in NASDAQ than any other countries except the United States, I expect the largest number of Israeli self-made billionaires to make their fortune in computer and high tech.  This turned out not be true.  After mining and diamonds comes Entertainment with 3 self made billlionaires (SMB), same number as softwre, but a lot richer.


Tomorrow I shall continue

What are the STRATEGIC INDUSTRIES?

These are the industries that make the US the No 1 Economy of the world.  They are the computer industry (software and hardware), the healthcare industry (Cancer drug, Plasma and other advanced healthcare),  Venture Capitalist.

Just take a look at the Top 6 US Immigrant Venture Capitalists.  They are all billionaires.

In my opinion, these 6 strategic industry prophets in US.  They are also the richest and most the most influential venture capitalists in the US in the past 20+ years.  How these foreigners would come to US and shake up the venture capitalist industries is truly unthinkable.

How much Education do you need to become a self-made billionaire?  The answer: very little.

I just ePublished in Amazon Kindle "Zero to Billion:Anyone Can, 22 Australian Self-made Billionaire".  I hope to contribute to humanity by revolutionizing our way of thinking of business and human potential.




More than half of Australian self-made billionaires have a high school or less education.  This is the same in Hong Kong, where more than half of self-made billionaires never went to university.   This is one proud discovery from my years of research.  It supports my thesis: ANYONE CAN.  If a high school graduate or dropout can become self-made billionaire, so can you.

Australia in 2016 is a very unsettling place for politics.  Why are voters so angry, when there is peace and prosperity, the air and there are plenty of fish in the ocean?  Australian even has the highest minimum wage of all rich industrialized countries, at $15 an hour, Australian minimum wage is higher than Switzerland, and much higher than US.

Should Australians be voting for an Exit too, like Brexit?  If so, where are they going to exit to?  To Indonesia or to New Guinea or to New Zealand? 

I don't have an answer.  I am not Australian.  I cannot vote. 

Maybe most of the voters in the world are angry: voters in Taiwan are angry, voters in Hong Kong are angry, voters in Great Britain are angry, voters in United States are angry.  The answer is blowing in the wind.
