<p>The internet is full of advice on how to become a millionaire. Who doesn&#39;t want to make more money?</p><p>A recent Reddit thread asked people who taught or went to school with millionaires to <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ergh4k/teachers_of_reddit_who_have_had_students_become/">explain what they were like</a>. Based on the wide variety of answers, we&#39;ve compiled some of the advice.</p><h2>1. This is not super useful intel for those of us who want to be millionaires but can&#39;t rap.</h2><blockquote> <p>My mom went to school with Queen Latifah. She supposedly came into the gym and rapped some days - <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ergh4k/teachers_of_reddit_who_have_had_students_become/ff3ztfw/">anti-peta-man</a></p> </blockquote><h2>2. Being an annoying big mouth pays?!?</h2><blockquote> <p>I am an economics teacher in high school and I&#39;ve had two of which I know. One was always a computer data type of boy. Nerdy on one hand but he had quite a big mouth on him. Became some data expert at an investment bank.</p> <p>The other boy was more of the entrepreneurial (no idea if that is an english word) type. He started a recruiting business for high tech companies which became pretty large. That boy as annoying as f*ck to deal with as a teacher. Way too smart for his class, therefore bored, therefore an absolute little monster. Not unfriendly though... - <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ergh4k/teachers_of_reddit_who_have_had_students_become/ff3zqec/">brahbrahJ</a></p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><h2>3. And so does being boring.</h2><blockquote> <p>Jeff Bezos was in my mom&#39;s high school graduating class. He was valedictorian. She didn&#39;t really have anything else remarkable to say about him. - <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ergh4k/teachers_of_reddit_who_have_had_students_become/ff3vu01/">McMeowsALot</a></p> </blockquote><h2>4. Sociopaths can definitely figure out how to make money.</h2><blockquote> <p>A complete A-hole who actually was referred to school psychiatrist on suspicion of sociopathy.</p> <p>Fast forward about seven years, and he has run what amounts to a pyramid scheme, scamming about $6 million of mostly elderly. Only had to repay some of it, including court expenses of his accusers, because he had &quot;acted in good faith&quot;. Still cannot figure this out, but &quot;good faith&quot; is not a word I believe the student knows - <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ergh4k/teachers_of_reddit_who_have_had_students_become/ff44dpm/">Agandhjin</a></p> </blockquote><h2>5. Bullies often make it big.</h2><blockquote> <p>I went to school with a girl Who is now a multi millionaire with her own make up range. She was a bully, everyone hated her, she was so nasty to everyone around her, including teachers, but now everyones falling over themselves to tell her how amazing she is. I still don&#39;t like her, I refuse to buy her products, there&#39;s no way I&#39;m putting my money in her pockets after everything she did to us all.</p> <p>sorry I won&#39;t ever name who it is. She is a legit business woman who has worked her way up from the bottom. As much as I don&#39;t like her, I wouldn&#39;t do that to her. - <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ergh4k/teachers_of_reddit_who_have_had_students_become/ff43gqp/">Bseickomyn</a></p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><h2>6. Luck always helps.</h2><blockquote> <p>Went to school with a guy who just seemed to be lucky at all the right times. Things just always went his way. He worked as hard as the rest of us, but none of us hit the same breaks. You know, he&#39;d intern somewhere and end up getting a Lotus as a company car because it was the only thing left in the motor pool. We all knew something would bring him down to our level eventually.</p> <p>Yep, now he&#39;s a millionaire who rescues startups in need of financial rediscovery.</p> <p>Honestly, nice dude. Not the most down to earth, but he was trying. Really changed my perspective on success. - <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ergh4k/teachers_of_reddit_who_have_had_students_become/ff4dxi2/">TheKlic</a></p> </blockquote><h2>7. Some people are just totally normal, but freakishly good at sports.</h2><blockquote> <p>I went to high school with a former Major League Baseball player and current manager. He was a senior when I was a freshman. He was a pretty cool guy and would sometimes play intramural softball with us on Fridays after school. Didn&rsquo;t seem like an ass or anything. I saw him some years later at a local event and got his autograph, while briefly discussing our old high school. Still very down to earth and personable. My future college roommate also played little league with him I eventually came to find out.
