What are the common misconceptions about wealth?
Me too. So last time you came on the show, we talked about your background, we talked about your contrarian investment views, and we talked about buying boring businesses, which I absolutely love. And now you have a new book out. It's called Main Street Millionaire. So I can't wait to find out how we can all become Main Street Millionaires. So my first question to you is trying to really understand some misconceptions that we have about rich people. When I think about rich people, I think about billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos and tech entrepreneurs or celebrities like Oprah and Kim Kardashian. But tell me why you are challenging this idea. What stats and facts do you have about rich people?
Let's start with a fun one. Do you want to know who the richest woman in the world is? This is as of the end of last year when the Forbes report came out. If you saw it, maybe it's T Swift. I know she had a big tour. Wrong. She's like 34th on the list. If you thought it was Kim K, you'd also be wrong. She was like 21st on the list. If you thought that it was somebody like Oprah, also wrong, she doesn't even crack the top 10. Who is it actually? It is a woman who grew a roofing company to more than $15 billion in net worth. And so my point here is I think one of the biggest misconceptions with the really, really rich is that they do things that are really, really sexy. In fact, most of the richest people on the Forbes 100 list If they didn't inherit it from a boring business, they started a boring business or they bought businesses, aka finance. So I think there's a matrix kind of like this. On the vertical side of the matrix, you basically have the sexiness of a business. from artists to musicians to actors.
