Billionaire's Formula

FV = PV * (1+r)^n

FV = future value of money
PV = present value of money
r = rate of return or interest rate
n = period or time

It's really as simple as this, not new but I guess a seldom used formula. Let's decipher this formula into a more realistic business point of view.

As an example I will illustrate Mr. Bill Gates, Microsoft Inc.

FV(Bill Gates) = PV (invented operating system) * (1 + r (microsoft sales)) to the power of n (number of years microsoft has been around)

If Bill Gates started with 1 cent as a present value of his operating system and sold 2 the first year, 4 on the 2nd year, 8 on the 3rd year, 16 on the 4th, and so forth for the next 30 years. His Future Value will be = $ 10,737,418.24. But he sold and still selling way more than that. That's why he's a billionaire. Money begets money and when it reaches a critical mass it'll be like a snowball rolling downhill turning into an avalanche.

$ 10,737,418.24 = .01 * (1 + 200%)^30


1: $.02
2: $.04
3: $.08
4: $.16
5: $.32
6: $.64
7: $1.28
8: $2.56
9: $5.12
10: $10.24
11: $20.48
12: $40.96
13: $81.92
14: $163.84
15: $327.68
16: $655.36
17: $1,310.72
18: $2,621.44
19: $5,242.88
20: $10,485.76
21: $20,971.52
22: $41,943.04
23: $83,386.08
24: $167,772.16
25: $335,544.32
26: $671,088.64
27: $1,342,177.28
28: $2,684,354.56
29: $5,368,709.12
30: $10,737,418.24

Simple? This computation is not new and I know it's easier said than done. However, save this formula, and if you find a money making business, work, or product, plug in your numbers in the formula and see for yourself that it actually work. Remember that you can also invest your money in stocks, real estate, etc. Leveraging your money to work for you is the key ingredient in this equation, and it doesn't matter whether you start small or large investment because you'll have the same constant formula in doubling your money.

As a bonus allow me to leave you this trivia question. Take a chess board and a grain of rice double that grain of rice on the 1st square, 4 grains on the 2nd, 8 grains on the 3rd and so forth until you fill in 64 squares. How much rice do you suppose you'll have?

Best of luck.

its an investment formula
calculating compound interest I think. Its a very clever formula that we owe to our ancestores:D

I think
its like...
I = Prt
F = P (1+ r/m)^mt

100% true.

only 1 problem. Bill Gates didn't invent an operating system. He bought it. For far less than it was really worth.

Nice formula and you can see that once you hit your first million dollars, things start to get interesting.

okay, hmm, un huh, yup I think I should go study for my GRE exam, especially since I haven't done math in a while, and I was baffled at solving the area of a right-angled triangle (but hey I could tell you theories in Sociology =)

I think this is easier
Prayer/ the secret + girl +love + male millionaire /Bill Gates - Prenup + wedding = ca-ching! lol

yes absolutely right actually it's easy to say but it's difficult to do.
Actually I've gotten this formula several years ago.

Thanks friend to remind & to refresh the useful rich formula.

this is just hypothetical model and very much impossible.

but it is intresting too

I have blogged about a simple way to make money in business. It is so simple that most businesses normally ignore it. See what you think. By the way where do I go and prove you wrong? :-). I went through a few posts where I can start a debate but couldn't find any.

Have you ever wondered just how he continues to make money hand over fist? Open source offers everything Bill does, and a lot of Open Source is STABLE.

pun-dit said...

it looks great on paper but practically it is very very difficult (impossible),a lot of investment scams run cause they fool people with this formula promising them more money in less time.if i have understood it properly should we not consider the recurring investments and subtract them? :)

Great.. i m going to save you in my blog roller

It's alot of figures based on the heirarchy you formulated. Multiplicity is the means of everything that expands or speaks of develoment and progress. I don't have a criticism on this post. I just wanted to appreciate the help this illustration counts as help for those who wonders how right? This is great!! and is much more great if the numbers can that easily be followed :-). Visit my site also that is www.jeyogarcia.tk and its all about commentaries and Christian growth "the other side of this material world". Join my community as well!

I think most formulae work under normal circumstances. What are the "Normal Circumstances" for this? Just curious, never saw this formula before.

The doubling part is very hard. Also,the expenses that deplete the profits.

I appreciate that you return ecard drops but I'm curious. Why are your posts becoming fewer and fewer? Nothing here since middle of May.

your rice question is 2^63 - 2 raise to the 63 power, right?

I really love this Biologic formula.



Lol, just kiding. I know its not a biologic formula, it's phisic right?

@Richard: That's only the amount of rice on the last square. The question (traditionally) wanted to know how much rice you have in total, on all squares, so 2^63 + 2^62 + ... + 2^0 = 18,446,744,073,709,600,000
