Do you have what it takes to be a Billionaire: Test

[Orchidflower]

This is sorta fun and quick. I took it and scored a 52, upper tax bracket, which pretty much describes my lifestyle. Guess I'll never be a billionaire...sigh.

[ziggy29]

Heh. I already KNOW I don't have what it takes because after living through the last 18 months, I know I'd stop taking any risk LONG before I got to a billion.

 

[ls99]

I saved time. Pass on the test. If I had what it takes to be a billionaire, I would be one.

Wondering, how many billionaires took the test before becoming one? I'd venture to say none. They were too busy making money.

So I guess there are two kinds of people, those who take tests to find out what they are good at. And those who do what they are good at.

 

[W2R]

I got a 56, same category as Orchidflower. But then I took it again, using my preconceived notions of what billionaires are like instead of answering truthfully, and got an 84 - - Forbes 400 billionaire.

 

[Dreamer]

I received a 60. I already knew that I would never be a billionaire. I wish that I had more money, but I would not ever want to be a billionaire.

 

[Shawn]

I got a 38. That puts me in the "Joe Salariman" group. Dang.

 

[BunsGettingFirm]

I got upper income bracket. Too bad my present job feels more like training for upper income tax bracket.

 

[Rustic23]

40 upper income

 

[Bestwifeever]

I took it for several people in my family and none of us got higher than 62.

Lol 46 out of 100...Stuck with a house in the burbs. Ok by me. But Id prefer some acreage for livestock and guns

It is hard to take a survey that can't spell 'question' correctly seriously


Quesion?

See Im even more of a billionaire failure since I didnt notice that. Way to knock my score down a couple notches

I took it 5 times, playing with the answers. Real answers = 50, randomish answer = 50-58. Wonder what the trick is.

 

[kumquat]

I got only 48, but I already knew the result.

If you use the billion term to mean 1,000 million, all I lack is $996,000,000. Damn I hate being inferior.

Is that you, "long lost bro"? Me, too, 46.

Is that a poorly constructed test or what? I was surprised at how restricted their questions were and assumed right off the bat that being the youngest child would keep me under a billion.

! substituted “Fluffy” for my nonexistent kids; BTW, she gets nothing. In a later question, they ask if you have kids. Huh?

Ye gods, I do collect art although I don’t consider it a hobby; how many people can say they sail, collect art or raise thoroughbred horses? If they don’t, they have to choose, “what hobbies”?

 

[NotReady4Purple]

40 upper income - but apparently right on the cliff as Shawn reports that 38 is Joe Salaryman. Seems right to me.

I never wanted a billion anyway.

And how come there wasn't an other on the hobby question?

 

[Midpack]

52, and the accompanying description was pretty much correct...

 

[Donzo]

I got a 62 -- but just re-checked my statements....where are my tens of millions?!

 

[OAG]

70/100: I suspect the inheritance question may be a key to this "test".

 

[TopDown]

I got a 62. Did it again but changed my country of birth to US and got a 70. (Foreign born military brat.)

 

[FinallyRetired]

36 Must be my sailing hobby, no way can you become a billionaire by being a sailing bum.

 

[Leonidas]

Hmmph - 72 - don't quite have what it takes.

 

[FUEGO]

38?? I figured I'd be at least a 50!

 

[Westernskies]

74

Still a bailout short of a billion.

I think it takes $10 billion these days to end up with a billion, what with the 90% special taxes.
