Instant Millionaires: The Secrets to Immediate Professional Success

What do the creator of Monopoly, the author of Gone with the Wind, and the creator of the Weight Watchers diet have in common? They all made fortunes practically overnight with their inventions. As Max Gunther—the renowned author of The Zurich Axioms—points out, the work ethic often condemns quick money and argues that wealth comes from hard work and restraint. However, very few people have managed to become wealthy by earning only their salaries. In Instant Millionaires, the author reveals the incredible stories of individuals who refused to follow the slow and sacrificial path of saving money to achieve financial security. Individuals who sought instant wealth and achieved it. Whether by creating something original, selling other inventors' ideas, or investing their money in the stock market, the protagonists of this book show that the dream of becoming rich overnight is not so impossible.
