10 Advantages of Software 

#1  You only have to hire very few employees

E.g. Look  at the difference between FoxConn and FaceBook

FoxConn is the world's largest outsourcing manufacturer and employs 1.3 Million works (looking very regimanted) 
 

In Contract FaceBook only hired a bundle of free , fun-loving and relaxed employees

Microsoft is famous for hiring a bundle of hippies, nerds and geeks in the early 1970s and built a global empire, easily defeating the suit and tie IBMers. 

Is there an eaiest way to make billions of dollars?

My answer is Yes, and it is undoubtedly SOFTWARE

The following is my Proof that Software is the Easiest 

#1   The Software self-made billionaires are the Richest
       In 2017, of the top 10 richest self-made Billionaires in the world,  7 of them made it with software 

They are   Bill Gates, Age 61  , Net Worth $90 Billion

                  Jeff Bezos, Age 53,  Net Worth  $83.6 Billion

                  Mark Zuckerberg, Age 33, Net Worth $70.8 Billion

                  Larry Ellison, Age 72,  Net Worth  $59.1 Billion

                  Michael Bloomberg, Age 75, Net Worth  $51.8 Billion

                  Larry Page,  Age 44, Net Worth $44.4 Billion

                  Sergey Brin, Age 43,  Net Worth $43.2 Billion

#2   The Software self-made billionaires are among the youngest (all under 30 made it with software)
#3   The Software self-made billionaires are the Fastest (Just look at Mark Zuckerberg)
