Money may not buy happiness, but it certainly brings
comfort, luxury, and freedom and almost everyone secretly dreams of having a
little more of it. While most of us are still hustling toward that dream, the
world’s richest individuals have already crossed that milestone, living lives
surrounded by immense wealth and influence.
That brings us to an interesting thought: could zodiac signs
have anything to do with success in building such fortunes? Of course, the
logical answer is no. Yet it is fun (and perhaps inspiring) to discover which
zodiac signs the wealthiest people on the planet were born under. Who knows sharing
a sign with one of them might just give you a motivational push!
