This 17-year-old built a $50 billion empire from his bedroom.

Ingvar Kamprad founded IKEA with $500 from his father (a gift for good grades).

His strategy was so simple but GENIUS that even Amazon, Walmart, and Costco's executives couldn’t believe it.

Here’s the full story: 🧵 In 1943, Ingvar Kamprad registered his business in rural Sweden.

He chose the name IKEA = Ingvar Kamprad + Elmtaryd (his farm) + Agunnaryd (his village)

It started as a mail-order business selling everyday essentials.

But this farm boy had been hustling since a young age…

This tiny team tricked Silicon Valley:

Overhyped their AI
Reached $2 BILLION valuation
Invited to elite tech conferences
Created mass panic among developers

But one software engineer spotted a fatal flaw and everything unraveled.

Here's the outrageous story:🧵
In 2024, a startup named Cognition Labs introduced Devin AI, branding it as the world's "first fully autonomous AI software engineer."

The demo showcased Devin completing coding tasks autonomously, sparking excitement across the tech world.

This was the immediate reaction of devs:

Russian scientists just achieved what Big Pharma never wanted to happen:

A 100% effective cancer vaccine.

• Without major side effects
• Completely free to all patients and
• All thanks to the powers of AI

Here's the FULL story you won't find in western media: 🧵 Meet Enteromix.

It's not your typical vaccine. It's personalized to each patient's exact tumor profile.

Here's how it works:

This guy studied Bill Gates, Richard Branson, and Walmart’s Sam Walton for decades...

And found simple models behind their enormous wealth.

Mohnish Pabrai is a billionaire himself and Buffett’s former student.

Here are 7 of his models (that most founders still ignore): 🧵 1. Cloning beats “original genius”

Word copied WordPerfect.
Excel copied Lotus.
Starbucks copied Italian cafes.

Even Sam Walton (Walmart) cloned Sears and Kmart, then squeezed costs until they collapsed.

Copy what works, then out-execute.

An engineer hired by Elon Musk uploaded xAI’s entire codebase to OpenAI, then sold $7 million worth of stock.

According to xAI, Xuechen Li took a job offer at OpenAI before leaking the code.

But the forensic trail he left behind reveals something even more shocking... 🧵
Here's what happened:

Xuechen Li worked at xAI with full access to Grok's proprietary code.

The same code powering Musk's AI chatbot worth billions.

Then Li got an offer from OpenAI.

But instead of a clean exit, he made a decision that would destroy his career forever...

The most dangerous man in tech isn't Tim Cook or Jensen Huang.

It's the former Apple designer who was Steve Jobs' right hand man.

He's been secretly building an AI device with OpenAI.

Here's how Jony Ive is killing the iPhone forever: 🧵 Who is Jony Ive?

British designer. 27 years at Apple. The creative genius behind iPod, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.

Steve Jobs called him his "spiritual partner."
But by 2019, Ive was burned out and frustrated.

Apple had changed after Jobs died...

Naval Ravikant is the greatest mind of the 21st Century.

He's was an early investor in Uber, X (Twitter) & Bitcoin

And he once said: "You're not going to get rich renting out your time."

Here are his 10 teachings on wealth that helped me make $5M in 2024: 🧵 1/ Don’t Chase Money, Build Wealth

"Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth."

Most people try to become wealthy by chasing dollars.

Create wealth by building systems that work for you.

In 2021, Ronaldo destroyed Coke.

At Euro 2020, he sat down for a press conference and in 3 seconds, he wiped $4 billion off Coca-Cola.

Here’s the wild story (& why it matters for your brand): 🧵 June 2021: Euro 2020 finally underway after the pandemic delay.

Coke paid millions to sponsor the tournament and their bottles were sat on every podium.

And then came Ronaldo...

Denmark just did the impossible.

It became the 1st country in Europe where your face, voice, and body are now your property.

A new law gives citizens full control over their digital selves.

Here’s the FULL story: 🧵 For the 1st time in history, a government has declared:

“You are your own intellectual property.”

Denmark passed a revolutionary law against AI deepfakes.

But why now?

Most people think Steve Jobs invented the iPhone.

He didn’t.

The real story is much darker and nearly tore Apple apart.

Here’s the story of the wildest product launch in tech history: 🧵 In 2002, Apple was losing its grip on the future.

Smartphones were clunky.

Touchscreens sucked.

And Jobs hated the idea of making a phone.

But a group of rogue engineers started building one anyway.

She is the youngest billionaire you've never heard of...

Melanie Perkins.

She was a university teacher who built a $40B company from scratch.

Her strategy was so simple yet effective, Photoshop, Illustrator and Figma envy her success.

Today, she's worth $5.8 Billion—at 38. Here's her full story: 🧵 Melanie didn’t start with Canva.

She started in a tiny apartment in Perth, Australia.

Her first idea? A yearbook design tool called Fusion Books.

No VC interest or Silicon Valley spotlight.

Just an obsession and a dream.

This man can predict startup success.

Peter Thiel — PayPal co-founder and Facebook’s 1st investor — turned $500K into billions.

Before he writes a check, he asks 7 brutal questions.

Most founders fail the 1st one.

Test yourself with these questions: 🧵 Most startups don’t fail because of bad ideas.

They fail because the founder can’t answer the right questions.

Peter Thiel knew this in 2004 before most of us had Facebook accounts.

So he built a mental framework to spot winners early.

He sold his dog for $40.

He was broke, homeless, and rejected 1,500+ times.

But then he wrote a script in 3 days...

Today, he's worth $400M and built one of Hollywood's greatest underdog empires.

The story of Rocky Balboa and the man behind it: 🧵 1975: Sylvester Stallone was living in a New York slum.

He had $106 in his bank. No car. No job. No agent.

He’d just sold his dog outside a liquor store for food.

This wasn’t a sad story. It was the beginning of a script that would change everything.

In 1965, Malaysia kicked Singapore out.

No army. No resources. No fresh water

Just a tiny island of 2M people living in poverty.

Then ONE man's ruthless vision built modern Asia's greatest success...

Here’s the FULL story: 🧵 When Singapore was forced out of Malaysia...

There were:

• 85% in slums
• 70% unemployment
• Racial riots everywhere

Everyone said it will collapse in 2 years.

Even Malaysia thought Lee would beg to get led back in.

This guy made billions training AI before ChatGPT went viral.

At 19, he left MIT
At 25, he was a billionaire

His company powers AI at Tesla, OpenAI, and the US military.

But no one talks about how fast he moved when no one cared about AI.

Here’s how Alexandr Wang quietly built an empire: 🧵 Wang was raised in New Mexico by immigrant physicists.

He wasn’t normal.

By 17, he was winning national math contests.
By 18, he joined MIT to study machine learning.
But by 19, he dropped out.

Why?

He knew where the world was heading and decided to build its infrastructure.

In 1974, Steve Jobs went to India to find his missing piece.

7 months later, he came back with the secret that shaped Apple into a $3 trillion empire.

Here’s the philosophy:: 🧵 He wasn’t chasing fame. He was chasing peace.

At 19, Jobs dropped out of college and flew to India.

No roadmap. No plan.

Just one goal:

“Find what’s real.”

I bet my life savings Emma Chamberlain will be a billionaire by 2035.

Not because she got 1.7 BILLION views on YouTube or built a $20 MILLION coffee brand from scratch.

But because she cracked the code on capturing Gen Z attention (her method is surprisingly calculated): 🧵 It's 2017.

A 16-year-old starts posting awkward vlogs to escape school and mental health spirals.

No fancy lighting. No brand deals.

Just rants, zooms, and chaotic editing.

Emma was chasing something different...

This organization controls U.S. Congress:

AIPAC

• Calls critics “anti-Semitic"
• Dictates America's foreign policy
• Buys politicians to protect Israel's interests
• Spent $100M+ on every U.S. election since 2020

Here’s how it’s quietly stealing America from its voters: 🧵 It starts with money.

AIPAC has poured over $100 million into elections since 2020.

Not to educate, not to inform...

But to defeat any candidate who criticizes Israel.

Politicians don’t vote with conscience.

They vote with fear and here's how...

The most dangerous person in AI isn’t Elon.

It’s not even Sam Altman.

It’s the woman who scaled ChatGPT to 100M users—then vanished.

Now her secret startup is worth $12 BILLION… without a single product.

Here’s the threat no one in Tech saw coming: 🧵
Mira Murati didn’t just work at OpenAI.

She ran it.

She was the architect behind ChatGPT’s rise.

She oversaw DALL·E, Codex, and GPT-4.

And when Altman got fired, the board named her interim CEO.

80% of jobs will disappear by 2030.

Fortune 500 will be next.

This is Vinod Khosla’s latest prediction - the investor who predicted the rise of Google, OpenAI, and DoorDash.

Here's what he said next: 🧵 Khosla is one of Silicon Valley’s legendary investors.

• He backed Google before it was cool.
• Funded Square, DoorDash, and Instacart.
• And co-founded Sun Microsystems in 1982.

He says we’re sleepwalking into an AI job apocalypse.

This guy fooled everyone in Silicon Valley.

He made $850k/year pretending to work for AI start ups.

This week, the CEO of Playground AI called him out on X.

Here's the crazy story of Soham Parekh so far:🧵 Soham simultaneously worked for YC startups like:

• Playground AI
• Fleet AI
• Lindy

Founders said he would ace his interviews.

Then he would vanish once hired.
