15 Interesting Billionaires Age 77 to 99!!

Billionaires: Interesting, Enlightening Facts About Super-wealthy Women and Men

Hello, Everyone! Today's post features a Business Insider story about fifteen interesting billionaires, with enlightening details we** should pay attention to and learn from. As I read the story, I noticed recurring themes for many of these billionaires are:

• their generosity/philanthropy/foundations
• they have children and a spouse to share it with
• they are business owners
• they've lived a long-time to enjoy their wealth:
• are affluent Senior-citizens
• have maintained being independently-wealthy deep into their 'Golden Years'
• are still brainy, vital, active and beneficent beyond age 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90
• some or each of their children are prepared to operate an aspect of their business(es)
• their children and other heirs are givers/philanthropists, as well

Two of my favorite, enlightening excerpts from this story are:

1. "When WWII ended and Albert Gubay, the 82-year-old supermarket billionaire who founded Kwik Save, was a candy vendor with 80 pounds to his name, he made a deal. "I made a pact with God: Make me a millionaire — and you can have half of my money," he said. Now he's keeping good on his promise to hand over half of his fortune to the Catholic Church by placing his business (worth an estimated $690 million) in God's hands. When he dies, half of the money will go to causes identified by the Catholic Church, while the fate of the other half will be decided by the trustees of his philanthropic foundation." 
2. "Hillman and his wife have four kids -- two who live in Pittsburg, and two who don't -- and various grandchildren. He has arranged for each off his descendants to have his own rich foundation and free reign on how to spend it."  ~ Business Insider

Video - Social Network for the Affluent

Good afternoon, Everyone! I've begun to share items with you that are about 'affluence', which I think you all will enjoy. As I've mentioned before, being affluent can be a very good thing when enjoyed, lived and utilized in a 'win-win' manner. I realize some people make affluence look like it's only a lifestyle for the wicked to aspire to and obtain. However, that's not what our Creator planned for us. He created affluence for our personal blessing as well as a tool-set to bless others from.

With that said, I'm sharing an interesting video I discovered this week about a social networking site that is exclusively for the rich and powerful. You may already be qualifed to be apart of such a social networking site as Affluence. Enjoy!

Attracting What You Desire - Quotes

Hello, Everyone! I hope you're having a very pleasant week, so far. This evening I'm sharing quotes about attracting what you desire into your life. Take care.

"The Law of Attraction says that like attracts like, and when you think and feel what you want to attract on the inside, the law will use people, circumstances and events to magnetize what you want."

~ Rhonda Byrne

"By repeating an affirmation over and over again, it becomes embedded in the subconscious mind, and eventually becomes your reality. That is why you need to be careful what you think and believe, because that is exactly what you will get".

~ Anthony Robbins

"... Visualize and feel the reality that you are a Magnet For Money and you will magnetically attract the things, people and ideas you need!"

~ John Scevola

Start manifesting your future now!

Affluence Wallpapers
