3 Scientific Signs You’re Raising a Future Billionaire
Research-backed studies to predict your child’s wealth
I’ve got a 3-year old son, and I am convinced he is a genius. He learns every song’s lyrics he listens to after hearing it like twice — irrespective of the language or if he even knows what it means. Then, he makes me sing it to him to sleep, and corrects me every time I miss a word or mess it up — coz I don’t have his Sheldon Cooper perfect memory.
I asked my wife if there was a way for us to know if he is a genius and make sure he engages in the right kind of activities so he can realize his full potential. I don’t want to force him to be a Nobel laureate or an Olympic medalist but I also don’t want to hold him back due to my ignorance.
Of course, there’s no such way or any that I know of, so I’ll let him be the genius in the house — and in my mind.
However, while doing a quick search, what I did find was there is actually a way or two of knowing your child’s future wealth or potential.
Wow! So we’re predicting future millionaires and billionaires at age 5? Really? Well, fine — if there are research studies around it, why not humor them and see what they say?
Here’s all I found.
