World's richest woman's advice to us poor saps: "Spend less time drinking or smoking and socializing" and you'll be rich.


Gina Rinehart is the world's richest woman, and recently she had some advice published in an Australian magazine article on how to become rich. Get the steno pad and a pen ready, because you'll want to jot this down:

"If you're jealous of those with more money, don't just sit there and complain. Do something to make more money yourself--spend less time drinking or smoking and socialising, and more time working."

More...time...working--got it!

Indeed, advice from Rinehart might seem valuable since she is a self-made billionaire. Mind you, she first inherited only a measly $75 million from her mining mogul father, which she then invested wisely enough over 20 years to become a billionaire.

So, see, you need to work harder to become a millionaire. Work harder at getting inside the right womb to be born out so you can invest. Don't let those little underdeveloped fetal legs become an excuse from trudging into a millionaire womb.

Please continue, Gina:
"The millionaires and billionaires who choose to invest in Australia are actually those who most help the poor and our young. This secret needs to be spread widely."

[[Pssst]] I'll let you in on another little secret. You know that Mother Teresa lady who lived a destitute lifestyle feeding the hungry and providing to the dying? Total deadbeat. Maybe if she was a millionaire she could have bought a dead person a proper cardboard box to be buried in, amiright?? She just didn't work hard enough.

Gina, please, more advice:
"There is no monopoly on becoming a millionaire."

That's right. All those single moms who work three jobs to support their kid? Just not making an effort. I think we all know that those 18hr days at various employers is just a ruse to avoid becoming wildly financially successful.
