Top 170 books to read if you want to become a Billionaire

 Best books on wealth. Top 170 books on wealth to read if you want to become a Billionaire

Recommended by Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos, etc

In the 1920's, a journalist named Napoleon Hill decided to interview many millionaires in the USA. His goal was to find out their life motivation and the principle that led them to become successful millionaires. After talking to hundreds of millionaires in America in the research, he later wrote a book: the law of success and another one: think and grow rich.

Shockingly, he discovered that wealth begins in the mind and it has little or nothing to do with your family background. That's the one sentence that summarizes what he discovered. It means that no matter who you're or the family background you come from, you too can become rich if you follow the same rules and principles observed by wealthy people. This has already been proved over and over again to be true, for the simple reason that people from really very poor family background also do get wealthy sometimes. As a matter of fact, the most successful set of people in the world comes from middle class income families, not wealthy homes. Ultra wealthy homes don't actually produce wealthy people, rather they just produce people who inherit wealth.

The reason I want to make this clear is to prepare you for wealth. You too can become wealthy because the law works for everyone. That's not my assumption, rather that's what Napoleon Hill discovered after interviewing hundreds of rich people in America. He (himself) later left his career as a journalist, applied the same principle given him by wealthy people, and indeed he became rich!!

Ever since, the principle which he called "the philosophy of success" has been copied by millions of people all over the world. Guess what? Whoever copied the principle also became a millionaire or Billionaire too!!

Today, many others have done the same research that Napoleon Hill conducted in the 1920's and the result came back as the same. In our own time, journalists and other researchers have interviewed many billionaires, such as Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Warren Buffett, etc and they're all saying the same thing- wealth begins in the mind.

Fortunately, many authors today have put the principle of success in books. All you have to do is read the books and learn the principle, develop the right mental state, follow the steps, then you become rich.

I want to share with you the top 170 books to read if you want to become a Billionaire. Most of the books were recommended by wealthy people themselves for others to read. 

In this list, Bill Gates recommended nine books, Warren Buffett recommended four books, Elon Musk recommended seven books, Jeff Bezos recommended five books. More than one hundred millionaires recommended the books that I am about to share with you. The books covers many fields of business; such as finance, investing, self development, real estate, stock market, etc. Right click on any book to read detailed description about it.
