Everyone focuses on the stuff the rich people collect. Yet, the biggest secret is that the rich are really collectors of rents, royalties, dividends, and interest. Whether song rights, hotel ownership, businesses, sales commissions, stocks, timberland, or patents, these are the things they truly amass. Instead, people read or watch television shows about the original works of art and the wine cellars, which are mere side hobbies that occupy very little time. Do not focus on what the rich buy for consumption, but rather, what they buy to generate more earnings streams. You'll often find that for every $25,000 watch they bought, they purchased an $800,000 apartment building and that the watch came long after the assets were in place. This single shift in thinking will greatly enhance the probability of you achieving the same ability to live how you desire.
