I've had two failed business attempts, one in the recession.
Maybe I'm a prime candidate for a billionaire. Har,har.

Check out the other requirements to become a billionaire

Although the article is date April 1, 2009 I don't think Mr. Greenberg is trying to fool us. He seems to be dead serious.

To be a billionaire, just invent something that has never been done before, make it predominantly internet based, vital to millions of people, very cheap or even free to use, work fast enough building the business so that by the time anyone realises its a brilliant idea you already have a dominant, unassailable market position.

Personally though, I think you need to be a certain type of person to become a billionaire. (even more driven than a millionaire.)

It's all fun and games until you realize different US presidents are members of that rather wierd group of people.

It's a treehouse club with cigars. I'm afraid that it is only fun and games in the sense that Resident Evil is fun and games.

Yeah, after reading a few presidents were in that club, I had that same thought. What did they do? Just talk? The wiki doesn't really say what sort of stuff they all did as members.

Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, with emphasis on the sex.

83% of women tested found Pus in Boots irresistable. (Based on a survey of 172 women.)
