Top 5 World’s Billionaires (2)

I read once in a self-improvement book that the billionaires are those who had great aims, left their comfort zone and never stoped trying. (I suggest you to read about Comfort Zone, It helped me alot). If one reads the history of their lives, he comes to know most of them had bad financial conditions in early childhood, so most of people are not born rich but get rich after endless efforts. Thier biographies give us useful clues on how to manage life.
