Stay in School

Over recent years our society seems to have become obsessed with "Bling! Bling!". The hip hop culture thrives on the idea that to be a "Baller" you have to have tons of money, or at least spend money like you have it, with their "iced" out chains, big houses, fancy cars, tv shows like My Super Sweet Sixteen, etc. Tiger Woods pulls in a cool $100 million a year, 90% of which is endorsements. We look at celebrities and athletes and want to be like them, have their money, or their lives. Well, if that is what you are after, then I am here to tell you that your standars are rather low!

That's right, these people pale in comparison to the true "Baller's" of our generation. If you want to learn more, I suggest watching The Fabulous Life of Billion Dollar Wall Street Ballers. I caught this show over the weekend I must tell you, these people make bank, and spend like they do! Tiger makes $100 mil a year, highest paid athlete, well, Stephen Cohen, the hedge fund king, made $1 billion last year. They also make large charitable donations, like raising $71 million for a charity in NYC, oh yeah, that was just in 1 night. These people could outspend and out"Ball" any celebrity or athlete on the planet. So, next time you decide that schoolwork is unimportant because you want to be a famous musician, or athlete, or celebrity, just remember, you are only limiting yourself, because you can make a whole lot more "cheese" in the business world.
