“Rolls Royce could have crashed and died with its founder had it not been for the right partnership”
In 1910, at the age of 32, Charles Rolls was the first Brit to die in a plane crash. His business legacy lived on because of his partner Henry Royce (who would have celebrated his 145th birthday today).
Not only did Royce carry on their passion for cars he also sought to make a better plane engine. By 1931 he had been so successful in doing so that he bought out his rival Bentley.
Your life and your legacy will be powered by successful partnerships. Find out how to create them, build them and value them at the Entrepreneurs Event of the Year - Your Life Your Legacy...www.triumphantevents.co.uk/?unlock=87-zdg47bs9v87gtn9pkbmhtwsx

  I read this on Roger Hamilton's Facebook and thought it was very interesting. Enjoy... In 2000, Six of the Top Ten in the Forbes World Rich List were from the USA and none were from developing countries. In 2008, Only two US Billionaires (Gates & Buffett) remain in the Top 10, and half are now from the developing world. India has four billionaires in the Top 10. Year 2000 1. Bill Gates, USA - b 2. Larry Ellison, USA - b 3. Paul Allen, USA - b 4. Warren Buffett, USA - b 5. Theo & Karl Albrecht, Germany - b 6. Prince Alwaleed, Saudi Arabia - b 7. S. Robson Walton, USA - b 8. Masayoshi Son, Japan - b 9. Michael Dell, USA - b 10. Kenneth Thomson, Canada - b Year 2008 1. Warren Buffett, USA - b 2. Carlos Slim Helu, Mexico - b 3. Bill Gates, USA - b 4. Lakshmi Mittal, India - b 5. Mukesh Ambani, India - b 6. Anil Ambani, India - b 7. Ingvar Kamprad, Sweden - b 8. KP Singh, India - b 9. Oleg Deripaska, Russia - b 10. Karl Albrecht, Germany - b I wrote in 2002 that as the world economies cycled into winter we would see more metal profiles at the top of the Rich List. From two Creators (Gates & Ellison) in 2000, we now have two Accumulators (Buffett & Helu) at the top of the list. Behind are a series of Accumulators, Lords and Mechanics, from the rival Ambani brothers who have split the conglomerate Reliance, to the empires of Mittal (steel), Deripaska (aluminium) and Singh (property) and the chains of Albrecht (Aldi) and Kamprad (IKEA). Gates is now all on his lonesome as the sole Creator profile in the Top 10. While that trend will continue over the coming years, so will the trend towards Developing Countries. China and India saw their billionaire numbers increase by over 300% in the last year. Within five years, there's a high likelihood none of the Top 10 will be from the US.

A Coutts Bank study revealed that 50% of People in the UK believe they will be a millionaire at one point in their life. However, only 425,000 people were millionaires (£1M or more net worth) in the UK at last count (about .7% or 1 per 145).
When you consider that an estimated, £2.6M is the actual net worth amount needed to live a "Millionaire Lifestyle" (5 Bed House, Overseas Holidays, Yacht, 2 Sports Cars, Personal Staff), there are some very strange perceptions out there.
Of the people who were “Self-Made” millionaires, one of the most common sources of wealth was Business Ownership.

“I look out in my yard and see cars worth over 0,000... It wasn't because of my success in music it was because of my success in business” - 50 Cent
Curtis Jackson was discovered in 2003 by fellow rapper “Eminem” who helped him to get a recording contract with producer “Dr Dre”. Once he had established his brand as “50 Cent” he wasted no time in partnering with businesses in several industries to help boost their sales.
Fifty makes his money by lending his brand to new businesses. He teamed up with Marc Ecko to form the clothing brand “G-Unit”, he worked with Sony to create a game that features his voice and likeness.
By leveraging his brand he has made far more money than many other more successful recording artists. Forbes Magazine says that Curtis Jackson, AKA 50 Cent, made over Million last year. He also reportedly made over 0 Million from the sale of his stake in “Vitamin Water” when Coke purchased the business for .1Billion.
50 Cent has turned his star profile into an entrepreneurial empire that crosses over into many products and industries. By focusing on the power of his brand he is well on the way to becoming the first “Hip-Hop Billionaire”.
How are you building your brand, leveraging on your brand and protecting your brand. Whether you like his music or not, we can all learn a lot from 50 Cent.
