Publisher's Synopsis
INTRODUCTIONPeople already know that money is not everything and money alone does not make you happy . And yet everyone wants exactly that. Money, money and more money . Almost everyone secretly or openly dreams of becoming rich. This manifests itself in very different ways. Some people work until they drop, pushing overtime and special shifts and are happy about any additional earnings.Others are fortunate enough to play the lottery every week, waiting to be kissed by Fortuna . As you know, the chances of winning the big jackpot are around 1 in 140 million, and most of the lottery players are on the negative side, and only a handful of winners get really rich.Even the very idea of how much some people earn makes them astonished and disbelieving. Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo earns around 45 million euros a year just for the sport, not counting his other sources of revenue, which make up another 30 million euros.Right at the top are Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, founders of Amazon. In the short term Bezos had recently reached the top and was considered the richest person in the world with a fortune of more than 90 billion dollars . This came about because his fortune increased almost overnight due to a rise in the price of Amazon shares by $ 1.2 billion. Meanwhile, the order has changed again, but it will probably take care of neither.For normal earners absolutely unimaginable sums. In Germany, the average gross monthly income in 2016 was 3703 euros, which corresponds to a gross annual salary of 44,436 euros. Rounding up a little, it would take a whopping 1000 years to work out an annual salary of Cristiano Ronaldo.
