- The Examples of Other Oligarchs
The author laid out examples of other oligarchs, including Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Kylie Jenner, among many others, about how they became rich and powerful without doing the hustle. Even though they all say they were very poor during their childhood and hustled really hard to achieve what we have now, in reality, they either came from very rich families or did immoral things to become what they are now.
The author also explained how marrying a really rich person and then divorcing them can make you genuinely wealthy too. Honestly, I giggled at the satire and acute humor with which the author approached this topic.
- The Smart Methods To Becoming Rich
C.T. Jackson, after giving examples of other oligarchs, provided smart methods for becoming rich. His idea that “the more you show off your wealth, the better” is honestly true because that’s how the world we live in operates.
And before presenting the methods, the author prepared a test for us to see if we really possess an oligarchic mindset. One specific MCQ test was as follows:
“1. You are the CEO of a major industrial railroad. An employee recently provided evidence of serious faults in safety measures for trains hauling hazardous materials close to population centers. Do you:
A.) Thank the employee and immediately address the safety issues through rigorous investment and oversight measures.
B.) Fire the employee, hide any evidence, and give yourself a hefty bonus.
C.) Take the employee out back, shoot them, and serve their corpse to shareholders during the next quarterly profit meeting.
D.) Both B and C”
I mean, haha! Do you guys really think I am going to answer D? Of course I am!
Overall, the satire, the humor and the ways in which the writer added a hint of quirk in every sentence while making this book captivating had me in a chokehold. I really recommend this book to everyone out there to learn the ways of this world and get smart.
A must read for everyone.
