<p>There are many get rich quick schemes but I think the most standard and realistic method is to gain rank at a medium sized company(financial,media,accounting, whatever). Try to company hop after 2-3 years when you start your career and each time demanding a higher salary. Get a MBA to increase your salary. After you reach SVP/c-level at a 50-150 million dollar company, you can demand 300-400k salary with management incentives and bonus. With good work ethics, meeting the right people, and some luck, you can be a SVP when you are 35-40.</p>
<p>Do something illegal and do not get caught. </p>
<p>Seriously though, those who seek riches tend not to make riches. </p>
<p>Look at current billionaires they all had successful and innovative products. Most of them are nerds and geeks who really like what they do and could careless about making the billions but it is an added benefit. </p>
<p>And truthfully cars are money traps and worthless investments.</p>
<p>Yeah, you can be “poor” on 400k a year if you don’t have any idea of personal finance. You could be rich on 80k if you are a savvy investor and keep expenses minimum.</p>

<p>Well said. Live below your means, and invest in income-producing, appreciating assets.</p>
