Most people copy Americans to get rich.

Big mistake.

In Switzerland, every 1 in 7 adults is a millionaire , 5x more than the US.

I dug into how they actually build wealth.

Here are 7 Swiss money rules that quietly beat the hustle culture: 🧵

Switzerland has the world's largest percentage of millionaires.

AND they have 1 billionaire for every 80,000 people.

What's the Swiss secret – is it all about banking and neutrality?

To start answering this question, here's an interview with some locals: 📹

Before we dive in, here's the low-down:

• 14.9% of Swiss adults are millionaires
• That's nearly double the rate of the US (8.8%)
• Yet Switzerland isn't even in the top 10 for average income

So how do they do it?

It's all about some key mindset shifts – here's a clue:

They Rent for Life (& They Love It)

Shocking fact: Only 41% of Swiss own their homes.

In the US? It's 65%.

Swiss millennials aren't obsessed with buying houses.

Why? They invest the difference in high-yield assets instead. Meanwhile...

They Treat Saving Like a Bill

Most people save what's left after spending. The Swiss? They spend what's left after saving.

They automate 20-30% of their income into savings BEFORE touching it.

It's not about willpower. It's about systems.

But saving alone won't make you rich:

Swiss People Invest in Themselves

The average Swiss spends 5-10% of their income on education and skills.

Every year. They're not chasing degrees. They're after specific, high-value skills.

Think languages, tech skills & financial literacy.

Speaking of finances:

The "Multi-Bank Strategy"

Swiss millionaires don't put all their eggs in one basket.

They typically use 3-5 different banks for various purposes:

• Local bank for daily transactions
• Private bank for wealth management
• International bank for foreign exchange

Why do this?

Risk Mitigation & Opportunity Maximization

Different banks = different strengths and offerings.

For example, one might offer better rates for real estate investments, while another excels in international trades.

It's about leveraging each bank's unique advantages.

Master "Stealth Wealth"

You won't see Swiss millionaires flaunting designer logos or exotic cars.

They live below their means and reinvest the difference.

It's not about deprivation. It's about delayed gratification.

But the real game-changer?

The "Global Citizen" Approach

Swiss investors think beyond borders.

They diversify globally, not just in assets, but in residency and citizenship.

Many have second passports or residencies in other countries because it opens more financial opportunities & tax optimizations.

These strategies require patience and a long-term mindset.

The Swiss aren't after get-rich-quick schemes.

They're building generational wealth.

And that's perhaps the biggest lesson of all:

True wealth isn't about making money. It's about keeping and growing it.

So, what can we learn from the Swiss millionaire mindset?

• Automate your savings
• Live below your means
• Invest in high-value skills
• Think long-term and globally
• Diversify across banks and borders

The path to wealth is a marathon. Are you ready to run it?

The Astor family was richer than the U.S. Treasury and known as the landlord of New York.

What started as drug smuggling became a million $$ empire of secret societies, rituals & cults.

One was killed in the Titanic conspiracy, and another looted his own mother.

Let's uncover the Illuminati's third bloodline.🧵

1. They started with smuggling Opium.

- The history of the Astor family begins with John Jacob Astor. Son of a Butcher, he built his fortune through fur business, New York real estate and well, smuggling drugs.

- By 1800, he'd built up his fur business worth $250,000 or about $6.2 million in 2025.

- In 1816, Astor became involved in opium smuggling trade. Opium was technically banned in China, but Astor sold thousands of pounds of opium, which fueled 19th century opioid crisis.

2. One of the heir was killed in Titanic conspiracy.

- John Jacob Astor IV was travelling with his pregnant wife on Titanic, who survived the crash with his help. A search crew found his body in the water. He was identified by the initials on his gold pocket watch.

- He was the richest Titanic passenger with his worth estimated at $87 million. It is speculated that businessman JP Morgan planned the Titanic sinking.

- He wanted to create a US Federal Reserve Bank, which was opposed by John Jacob Astor and other rivals who all died in the crash and Morgan, who planned to sail on the Titanic changed his mind at the last moment.

I became a millionaire at the age of 34.

But when I look back,

I could have achieved it by age 24 if I had adopted these 9 habits sooner. 🧵

1. There are levels to the world of work

Level 1 = Job

Level 2 = freelancing, consulting, or one-person businesses

Level 3 = starting a business

Level 4 = running a business with large numbers of employees

Get off level 1 amateur hour.

Action: build a side business.

2. We should love saturated markets

• Because the opposite is a market where nobody is buying

• That means it's a problem people don’t want solved

Instead of trying to copy or be better, just be different.

Action: go where the most competition is. Then be yourself.

The billionaire Greek playboy who s3duced Jackie Kennedy.

At 16 years old, his father’s wealth-empire was destroyed and his family barely survived a village massacre.

But he turned $60 and a job as a phone operator into $2.3 BILLION.

This is the story of Aristotle Onassis: 🧵

Aristotle Onassis grew up the son of a wealthy shipping entrepreneur – Socrates Onassis.

But in August 1922, the Turkish army attacked and destroyed Greek cities and villages.

Aristotle and the Onassis family were stripped of their wealth.

Aristotle’s father was imprisoned and his business was transferred to Turkish ownership.

The once wealthy family now fled from Smyrna to Greece as refugees.

But in 1923, Aristotle left on his own to make a new start in Buenos Aires.

He was 17 with just $60 in his pocket.
