Jim Simons built the most profitable hedge fund in history.

Not with insider info.
Not with Wall Street traders.

He quietly compounded 66%+ annually while everyone else argued on TV.

13 timeless money lessons from the man who out-earned Buffett, Soros & Dalio combined: 1. Obsession beats credentials

Simons’ PhD advisor told him:
“That problem is too hard. Don’t do it.”

So he did it anyway.

The result?
A breakthrough paper that reshaped geometry.

Lesson:
Hard problems attract people who compound faster.

In 1983, Steve Jobs predicted the next 50 years of technology.

His predictions:
• iPhone
• Internet
• Softwares
• App stores
• Artificial Intelligence

10 futuristic predictions from this talk that came true:

1. Every major revolution starts ugly Jobs said early computers looked like garbage, not because they had to, but because no one cared.

New technologies always begin as:
→ Technical
→ Unfriendly
→ Designed by engineers for engineers

The winners aren’t the first inventors.
They’re the first designers.

Warren Buffett literally gave a free 1-hour masterclass on business and investing.

Here are 13 timeless lessons every investor should know:

1. Your career choice matters more than your first salary Buffett warned students against optimizing for resumes or paychecks.

His advice:
→ Work for people you admire
→ Do work you’d do even without money

“Saving up passion for old age makes no sense.”

Long-term compounding starts with loving the game, not the paycheck.

Mark Zuckerberg pledged $45B to “charity.”

But he didn’t give it away. He put it into an LLC that he still controls.

The media called it charity.

In reality, it was tax evasion to save billions.

Here’s how billionaires use “charity” to evade taxes & get richer: The $45B headline that fooled the world

In 2015, Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, announced the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI).

Media framed it as a donation “to charity.”

But it wasn’t a charity. It was a Limited Liability Company (LLC).

That difference changes everything.

In 1637, a single tulip flower could buy a house in Amsterdam.

Merchants traded them like gold.

People were selling houses to buy one flower(that dies in 2 weeks)

One winter day, the entire market collapsed.

Here’s the insane story of Tulip Mania, the first financial bubble:
In the early 1600s, the Netherlands was the richest country on Earth.

• It built the first modern stock exchange
• Its merchant navy ruled global trade
• Amsterdam became Europe’s financial capital

And into this golden age bloomed a strange obsession: the tulip.

There’s a German family richer than the Rockefellers.

They own brands like BMW & Rolls Royce.

They funded Hitler & World War II...

And that bloodshed made generational billionaires.

Here's the untold story of the Quandt's dark empire: The story starts with Günther Quandt.

Born in 1881, he inherited a textile business and turned it into an industrial empire.

By the 1930s, he was among Germany’s richest men.

And when Hitler came to power, he made a choice that would stain the family fortune forever:

He joined the Nazi Party.

His fortune was so big…

They had to invent new ways to measure it.

He was richer than Bezos, Musk, and Rockefeller.

500 years later, his family is still living off the wealth he built.

Here’s how a German banker became the most powerful man on earth: His name is Jakob Fugger.

He was born in 1459 in Augsburg, into a family of modest textile merchants.

But he had two advantages:

• A sharp mind for numbers
• A time of upheaval, where kings and popes needed cash more than ever

From cloth trading, he pivoted into finance right as Europe’s power balance was shifting.

Before Warren Buffett gave away $100B…

He wrote a personal letter to his wife.

Not about love,

But exactly how to handle the money when he dies.

Here’s the brutal simplicity behind Buffett’s financial philosophy in his own words:
“Don’t overthink it.”

That’s the tone of the letter.

Buffett didn’t ask his wife to hire experts.
He didn’t leave her complex trusts.
He didn’t even suggest she talk to bankers.

He gave her two instructions. Just two:

“Put 10% in short-term government bonds.
Put 90% in a low-cost S&P 500 index fund.”

That’s it.

All these companies are banks...

Amazon gives $4B in loans.
Google has $6B in G-Pay wallet.
Apple holds $10B+ in Apple Pay savings accounts.

They all have become banks without ever asking for a license.

Here’s how Big Tech hijacked global finance without being noticed: Why Big Tech wants to be a bank without calling itself one

Banking licenses mean:
• Strict capital requirements
• Regulatory oversight
• Limits on products

Big Tech avoids this by partnering with real banks for the legal side, while they keep the customers, the data, and often the profits.

Result: They get all the benefits of banking, with none of the burdens.

Billionaires hate paying taxes.

So they use debt to avoid it.

Jeff Bezos borrowed $8.5B using stocks & Zuck borrowed $100M to buy properties.

Even I borrowed $300k & built a startup doing $100M in volume.

Here’s how the billionaires use debt to avoid taxes & create wealth:
1. The secret: Borrow, don’t sell

Selling assets = taxable event.
Borrowing against assets = tax-free capital.

→ Bezos pledges Amazon stock as collateral
→ Bank gives him billions at ultra-low interest
→ He pays living expenses with the loan instead of selling stock

He keeps his shares (no capital gains tax) and keeps compounding wealth.

In 1910, the 6 most powerful men in America vanished.

They boarded a private train using fake names & disappeared to a remote island.

What they created in total secrecy now controls $30.5 trillion in U.S. money.

Here's what happened in that secret meeting held on Jekyll Island:
Between 1800 & 1910, America’s banking system was broken:

• The U.S. had no central authority over currency
• Over 30,000 types of banknotes were in circulation
• Banks failed regularly (major panics in 1873, 1893, 1907)
• No lender of last resort meant a single rumor could cause a bank run

Wall Street was vulnerable. The public had lost trust.
A system reboot was needed.

Not knowing how to use a credit card is making you poor.

Americans have $1.21 Trillion in credit card debt.

Even I was one of them, $300K in debt by 23.

But I escaped it...

And built an $80M company on credit cards.

Here are 8 ways to get rid of your credit card debt:
1. Stop making minimum payments

Minimum payments = lifetime slavery to interest.

→ $15K in debt at 25% APR can take 15–20+ years to pay off
→ You’ll pay 2–3x the original amount in interest

Make extra payments, even $100/month helps
And always automate the full statement balance if you can

This Scottish mathematician bankrupted France in 1720.

He invented paper money & created the first central bank.

Printed money out of thin air.

And made the entire economy collapse overnight.

Here's how one man accidentally invented modern banking while stealing from French:
In 1715, France was on the verge of collapse.

Louis XIV had just died.
His wars had drained the treasury.

The country owed over 2 billion livres, 75% of GDP.
Interest payments alone consumed half the annual budget.

The tax system was corrupt and broken.

France wasn’t just broke. It was unfinanceable.

Jeff Bezos hasn’t paid a dollar in taxes for decades.

He makes billions and pays $0 in taxes, LEGALLY

You make $60k/year and lose $10k in taxes to the IRS.

Millionaires/Billionaires know a secret that you don’t

Here’s how they live lavishly without ever triggering a tax bill: Between 2006–2018, Jeff Bezos’s wealth grew by $127 billion.

His federal income tax bill? $1.4 billion total.

That’s about 1% effective tax rate.

Meanwhile, the average worker pays 20–30%.

Titanic didn’t hit an iceberg by accident.

It was planned by its owner, JP Morgan.

He killed 1500 passengers just to eliminate his 3 richest rivals on the ship.

JP Morgan canceled his trip 3 hours before departure.

Here's the wild theory behind the $700M 'unsinkable' Titanic: Let’s start with the theory.

J.P. Morgan, the richest banker in America, owned the White Star Line, the company that built the Titanic.

He was set to sail on his maiden voyage in April 1912…
But it was canceled at the very last moment.

3 of his wealthiest rivals boarded and died.

My startup crossed $80M in revenue today.

2 years ago, I was buried in $300K debt.

What do I do? I help people turn their credit line into cash.

Here are 8 tricks to squeeze free money from your credit cards: 1. Float Like a Pro

Most users pay early and still pay interest.

Smart ones use the grace period.

Buy on Day 1 of your billing cycle → pay on Day 25 of the next = up to 55 days of free liquidity.

That’s a free short-term loan, no interest, no bank fees.
