I was checking my gmail for work just now when Forbes caught my eye with their special report about The World’s Billionaires. As per normal, I get to see Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Lee Ka-shing, and some familiar names. Also, I don’t really see Donald Trump inside the list even though he’s very well-known to be part of the Billionaire Club. As I was looking through the huge list of billionaires showing off their money at me, it comes to my thought of looking for the youngest billionaire since most of the billionaires I know are already around 50 and above.

And I was shocked to find out how young Mark Zuckerberg is for his famous facebook online application. He is only 23 years old! Even Google founders are above 30s. Mark is a Harvard dropout student. And it seems to me that being able to attain such an achievement doesn’t require you a degree after all. And if I am not wrong, Michael Dell and Bill Gates are also dropouts.

Being rich in his money as well as his time, Mark is probably able to spend all his time and money everywhere he can. But again, even if you own huge amount of money today, it doesn’t mean you will get to own them tomorrow. Money is always an ongoing process of achievement. Just look at how a poor person uses his money after he won a lottery, the next minute you will find out that he’s poor again…
