Want to become a billionaire? Up your chances by dropping out of college, working at Goldman Sachs or joining Skull & Bones.

Are billionaires born or made? What are the common attributes among the uber-wealthy? Are there any true secrets of the self-made?

We get these questions a lot, and decided it was time to go beyond the broad answers of smarts, ambition and luck by sorting through our database of wealthy individuals in search of bona fide trends. We analyzed everything from the billionaires’ parents’ professions to where they went to school, their track records in the early stages of their careers and other experiences that may have put them on the path to extreme wealth.

Our admittedly unscientific study of the 657 self-made billionaires we counted in February for our list of the World’s Billionaires yielded some interesting results.

First, a significant percentage of billionaires had parents with a high aptitude for math. The ability to crunch numbers is crucial to becoming a billionaire, and mathematical prowess is hereditary. Some of the most common professions among the parents of American billionaires (for whom we could find the information) were engineer, accountant and small-business owner.

**for the record this is an old draft, but still relevant so figured I’d post it** Let’s get it!!

I think the read is interesting, hence why I posted it, but in all honesty it was alot of wasted man hours. There is no trick to becoming a millionaire/billionaire, there is no code or password in life to become one. The research was to see if there is something beyond smarts, ambition and luck to becoming a billionaire? No need to research, answer = NO! They researched 657 billionaires to find any similarities and they indeed found some. Great! My problem with this is, research 657 bums and I’m sure you could find some similarities aswell. 657 of anyone and you are bound to develop some common traits if you look hard enough. In the end there is no formula, what works for one man doesnt always work for the next.

They say it’s not what you know it’s who you know, but I’m calling bullshit on this one too. I’m sorry, but if your dumb as fawk and have the ambition of a rock, who you know is pretty much irrelevant. True or False?
