Sir John Paul Getty, KBE (September 7, 1932 – April 17, 2003) was a wealthy American-born British philanthropist and book collector. He was the son of Jean Paul Getty, Sr. (1892–1976), one of the richest men in the world at the time.
The late J. Paul Getty’s rules for accumulating wealth are simple and to the point. In fact, it is so simple that most people who read them either dismiss them as sweeping generalities or falsely believe they have known and used them most of their lives… but these people are probably not rich. So while these guidelines may lack romance or an obvious direction, be assured that they are the genuine article. Apply them as soon and as often as you can, and apply them with intelligence and creativity.
Rule No. 1: To acquire wealth today, you must be in your own business.
You may think that the corporate executive with a $100,000 salary is better off than small shop owner, but the executive will be hard-pressed to double his income and taxes will eat up most of any increase. The simplest peanut vendor has unlimited opportunity to expand his business and his income, and even salesmen, who in most cases are able to write their own paychecks, can control his sale increases himself.
Rule No. 2. You must have a working knowledge of the business when you start and continue to increase your knowledge of it as you go along.
If you don’t know what you’re doing when you start, your mistakes will be costly and often unnecessary, and you won’t be able to keep up with the technological explosions in any field. Start smart and stay that way.
