Summary

The article humorously presents unconventional and satirical strategies for making a million dollars, as advised by millionaires.

Abstract

The article, titled "I Asked A Millionaire How To Make $1,000,000 (And His Response Blew My Mind)," offers a humorous take on wealth accumulation, suggesting tongue-in-cheek methods such as outsourcing one's job to a virtual assistant for half the wage, becoming a superhuman productivity machine by speed-listening to audiobooks, and asking family for a significant loan. It satirizes the often impractical and elitist advice given by some wealthy individuals, emphasizing that these strategies are not to be taken seriously and are for entertainment purposes only.

Opinions

  • The author critiques the oversimplified and sometimes unrealistic financial advice given by content creators who are not necessarily wealthy themselves.
  • Outsourcing one's job is presented as a humorous, albeit mathematically flawed, method to earn additional income, highlighting the absurdity of the idea.
  • The article pokes fun at the notion that listening to audiobooks at high speeds equates to faster learning and, consequently, higher earnings, suggesting that such habits might be more about appearances than substance.
  • By referencing the anecdote of Donald Trump's "small loan" from his father, the author implicitly criticizes the narrative of self-made success among the wealthy who had significant family assistance.
  • The article concludes with a disclaimer emphasizing its fictional and entertainment-focused nature, cautioning readers against taking the advice seriously.

Chances are, you want to make a lot of money in 2022. You probably want to see a few extra zeroes in your bank account. And if you can pay rent and buy groceries, that would be great, too.

You’ve probably seen lots of content creators on the internet giving useless advice on making money — without even being a millionaire or billionaire. It’s a shame.

That’s why I spoke to several millionaires about strategies that anyone can implement to make more money.

Here they are:

Outsource Your Job To A Virtual Assistant

For example, let’s say you make $15 an hour performing data entry for a company — with the option to work from home. Consider hiring a Virtual Assistant in Southeast Asia (or another part of the world) to do absolutely everything.

If you pay your Virtual Assistant $7.50 an hour, you can keep the rest for yourself. And obviously, if you’re working 40 hours per week, that’ll give you an extra $1,200 per month in disposable income.

It’ll only take 833 months (69 years) for you to make a million dollars by using this strategy — as long as you save every cent.

What’s not to love about that?

Become A Superhuman Productivity Machine

The billionaire investor Warren Buffet once said, “The more you learn, the more you earn.” He’s right. If you can learn new things faster than everyone else, you’ll quickly earn a lot more money than everyone else.

That’s why it’s a great idea to listen to audiobooks at 5x speed. Implementing this strategy will enable you to finish a 10-hour book in less than two hours. Plus, the bragging rights of saying you can read a book per day will place you in the social circles of millionaires and productivity gurus around the world.

Ask Your Family For A Small Loan Of A Million Dollars

This is a strategy that lots of millionaires recommend — partially because it’s how they made their money.

Take former President Donald Trump as an example. His father lent him over $60 million to start a business, according to an investigation published by CNBC. But of course, that figure is much higher than the sum quoted by Trump — who claimed his father only gave him “a small loan of a million dollars.”

Call your wealthy family members whenever you get a chance. Ask them for a little bit of “financial aid” to help you start the next big thing.

Of course, the math works out brilliantly. If you can get just four people to give you $250,000, you’ll have a million dollars in your bank account pretty quickly.

If you want to make a million dollars in 2022, consider copying the above strategies that have been recommended by millionaires. Because once you implement them, your life will never be the same.
