Welcome to the 6th edition of The Wealth Letters, a collection of insights written by people from all walks of life (the everyday unknowns to the titans of success) on pursuing wealth, wisdom, and purpose.

If you haven’t done so, please read or listen to the manifesto before diving in to the collection, as it will give a clear vision of the project; the Who, What, and Why.

The following excerpt was written by Felix Dennis, entrepreneur and founder of Maxim Magazine, in his book How to Get Rich: One of the World’s Greatest Entrepreneurs Shares His Secrets. In his book, Mr. Dennis opens up about :

Accumulating hundreds of millions of dollars

His addictions to drugs and prostitutes

Blowing $100 million dollars

His near death experience due to his lifestyle choices

What it all means for those pursuing riches

Objectives / Overview:

If you are young, remember this one thing.

How are the young infinitely richer than Felix, who had a net worth north of $700 million?

When is Felix happy, and is wealth needed?

The TLDR/L (Too long, didn’t read / listen):

One is richer than someone older than them, and far richer than someone much older.

The rich are not happy. They are insulated, paranoid, arrogant, lonely, and filled with rage.

Happiness comes from the simple things. The things that can be enjoyed without having wealth.
