It's not about becoming a millionaire anymore, its about becoming a pentamillionaire these days.. How'd these people get there?

"The vast majority — 80% — either started their own business or worked for a small company that saw explosive growth. And almost all of them made their fortune in a big lump sum after many years of effort."

A quote that reinforces a point I was making in the Kobe beef entry:
"today's very rich say that money itself wasn't much of a motivator."
(thats always easy to say after you've got 5 million in the bank. )
