What is the saddest truth about life?

This is the Rockefeller family

They are one of the richest families in America with a value of US$ 11 billion. They put that much money in various instruments. It all started when John D. Rockefeller, America’s first billionaire became rich after founding Standard Oil in 1870. This family worked hard to achieve it all.

For 100 years they continued to accumulate wealth and REINVEST it. By 1913, their wealth had reached 900 million dollars. If we compare it to every US$100 worth of the US economy, they controlled 2 dollars.

Adjusted for inflation, his wealth at that time was worth US$ 400 billion. This made him the richest person in modern history. Not to be missed, the Rockefeller family also bought and built various historical buildings such as 30 Rockefeller Plaza:

And the most popular is Chase Tower

So what is the connection between all this?

So, last month in July 2019, Jeff Bezos officially got divorced. His wife, MacKenzie Bezos, got 4% of Amazon shares from this divorce agreement. Like a windfall, his wealth skyrocketed to US$ 38 billion.

The old money Rockefellers who had built their wealth over a century and 5 generations, including the ups and downs of the Great Depression, were not even worth a third of it.

MacKenzie is now the 4th richest woman in the world.

The conclusion? In this life: no matter how rich, great, and strong you are, there will be someone who will be better than you. Sooner or later.

So, stop comparing yourself.

Do your best. Do what you can. Leave a significant impression.
