  Three men. Three centuries. Three fortunes that each built the infrastructure of their age. JOHN JACOB ASTOR (1763 to 1848). The first millionaire. A German immigrant who arrived in New York at 21 with nothing. He cornered the North American fur trade through the American Fur Company, then walked away from it in the 1830s, exactly when the cycle was peaking, and reinvested every dollar into Manhattan real estate. He bought farmland and woods that are now Midtown. By the time he died in 1848, his estate was worth more than the entire United States Treasury. His advice was a single sentence: "Buy every foot of land on the Island of Manhattan." JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER (1839 to 1937). The first billionaire. He did not invent oil. He invented operational efficiency. He cut the cost of refining a gallon of kerosene from 3 cents to under 1, undercut every competitor on price, and consolidated the entire American oil industry under Standard Oil. By 1880 he controlled 90% of US refining. The Supreme Court broke up Standard Oil in 1911. The breakup made him richer. The parts were worth more than the whole. He crossed a billion in 1916 at age 77. Then spent the next 21 years giving most of it away. The University of Chicago, Rockefeller University and the Rockefeller Foundation all exist because of that second chapter. ELON MUSK (1971 to present). The first trillionaire. PayPal taught him software. SpaceX gave him orbit. Reusable rockets cut the cost of mass to space by 90 percent. Tesla made electric vehicles mainstream and became the most valuable car company in history. He layered xAI, Neuralink, The Boring Company and Tesla Energy on top. Each company solves a different hard physical problem. Launch. AI. Tunnelling. Brain interfaces. Energy storage. The trillion was not a stock price. It was the sum of someone betting on every one of the next century's infrastructure problems at the same time. THE PATTERN Astor solved how to settle a continent. Rockefeller solved how to fuel the industrial age. Musk is solving how to leave one planet for many. Every century, capitalism adds a zero. Every century, the zero gets built by the person willing to bet on the infrastructure nobody else dared to build. The fourth zero will not be made on this planet.

  Elon Musk didn’t get rich by accident, by luck or by fraud. He got rich through entrepreneurship and ingenuity, and by taking enormous risks. The picture is Musk staring at the wreckage of another exploded Falcon 1 rocket, the third to fail on launch. In 2008, Musk was borrowing money from friends to pay his rent, going through a divorce, SpaceX was running out of cash, and to add to the misery, Tesla was at risk of missing payroll and going bankrupt. Down to his last $40 million of the $180 million he made from selling PayPal, Musk decided on one last roll of the dice and poured his remaining capital into a fourth launch on September 28, 2008. This time it worked. The rocket successfully reached orbit. Weeks later, SpaceX was awarded a $1.6 billion contract from NASA. A few months later, Tesla secured crucial investment to commence production of the original Tesla Roadster. "I gave both SpaceX and Tesla a probability of less than 10% likely to succeed," Musk later said. Musk could have taken a salaried job and never pursued entrepreneurship. He could have pocketed his PayPal millions and sat on a beach for the rest of his life. Instead, he risked it all and it paid off in a spectacular way, not just for him. His groundbreaking companies have given consumers new and better products and created 1000s of well-paid jobs. SpaceX alone has made more than 4,000 former and current employees Dollar millionaires. It also made Musk the world’s first Dollar trillionaire. His detractors tell you his wealth is undeserved. The truth is that when exceptional individuals like Musk run risks that may seem unacceptable to most of us, society progresses and we all gain. Instead of chastising success, we should take inspiration from people like Elon Musk. Next time you think of giving up, remember this picture.

  @MariaNafoFella They DM donation requests with a paypal account. They avoid posting the paypal details publicly because we'd be all over than and get it shut down/refunded. Genuine Ukrainian fundraisers will share a payment link publicly.

  @AskPayPal + URGENT: @AskPayPal I am locked out of my PayPal account and cannot access my funds. SMS verification stopped working after password reset and I am stuck on login security check. Please escalate this case.

  @HoweyJohnn34169 Thank you for the feedback. I suggest considering the affiliate program which is the next release and will be launched imminently… three referrals brings the cost of membership down to zero and from there its 40% of every recurring monthly fee that Vivé receives from every referral paid directly via Payoneer (we chose them because PayPal is dying and doesn’t operate here but they offer exactly same services) and straight to your bank account from there… every referral can start referring as well (instantly) with a live membership All details are on the website and inside the platform under the Affiliates tab

  @WillBiddy_ True. I guess in adobe vs paypal vs meta it all boils down to opportunity cost.
