Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Forget Regis Philbin's "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". Martin Fridson's How to Be a Billionaire sets its sights much higher and therefore seems an even more appropriate (if somewhat less realistic) goal for today's tycoon wannabes. There are some 200 individuals in the US alone who now breathe this rarefied air, writes Merrill Lynch, managing director of Fridson, and no reason why those who adopt their philosophies cannot join them. To that end, he studied more than a dozen of the self-made super-rich, including Sam Walton, Bill Gates, Wayne Huizenga and Warren Buffett. He then synthesized their techniques for success into nine strategies: take monumental risks, do business in new ways, dominate your market, consolidate an industry, buy low, thrive on deals, out-manage the competition, invest in political influence and resist unions. Dividing profiles of these high fliers into chapters focused on their prevailing principles, he shows how each played a critical role in the growth of an empire. Walton didn't invent discounting, for example; he tweaked existing practices for the late-20th-century marketplace. Likewise, Huizenga didn't start individual companies but integrated existing competitors into powerhouse organizations. While Billionaire may not be a true self-help manual, it does offer a fascinating glimpse at tactics used by those who've played the game and won. --Howard Rothman, Amazon.com --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Review

"How to Be a Billionaire offers fascinating insight into the subject of building wealth. As a result of his exhaustive research, Martin Fridson is able to explain the wealth-creation process from a unique perspective. As the reader will discover, there is no single formula for success, but there are certain categories into which these concepts can be placed. My personal advice is to remember the words of Winston Churchill who said, 'Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.'" -Ross Perot "Martin Fridson has created the ultimate roadmap to the American Dream. He comes as close to extracting a formula for the acquisition of wealth as any book I have ever read." -Jeff Sagansky CEO, Paxson Communications "Martin Fridson's book has a number of very insightful and thoughtful analyses, something you don't pick up in many business schools." -Philip F. Anschutz Chairman and CEO, The Anschutz Corporation "How to Be a Billionaire is a powerful arsenal of dead-on strategies for increasing your personal wealth and business acumen. Marty Fridson details the tactics of self-made billionaires with great intelligence and insight. I wish this book had been available when I was starting my career." -Spencer Hays Founder, Tom James Company Executive Chairman, Southwestern/Great American, Inc. Chairman, Athlon Publications

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty simple for me......, 14 Nov 2008
By T. K. Tran - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I think the information in this book is pretty simple. I don't think it demonstrate the correct strategies in becoming a billionaire. All it does is tell stories about some billionaires and create some sort of emphasis on the event that occured in their lives. This book analyse the life story of billionaires rather than identifying the practical billionaire strategies to their wealth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and Inspiring, 23 Feb 2006
This is a great book written with in-depth analysis of the methods used by the great industrialists of our time in the acquisition of wealth. For aspiring Billionaires, it’s the key to unlocking their success, for economic historians the bible that reveals the intricacies that drive capitalism.
For those who simply want to understand the thought system of these great achievers, this book serves as a conduit to exploring their mindset.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to Become a Billionaire Review, 11 Mar 2009
By G. Armstrong (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I believe this book along with Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad to be the finest wealth accumulation guideline ever created!!!!

This is simply a fantastic read that gives a new insight into what it really takes to become a titan of wealth.

The idea of being in the right place at the right time, and how it is all about luck, are all falcities!!!! This book shows the truth without rose tinted glasses. This is what it takes.

If you do not like this book, then you have either read it upside down or you have no real comprehension of reality and should probably have spent the money on lottery tickets in the hope to become rich. This book debunks the myths and legends of wealth accumulation and prints the raw facts.
