Alternatives to get rich - Risk wins, Risk loses.

Yesterday, I came across a graphic created by a visual capitalist. Could you please let me know how long it typically takes for money to double in various investments? The fact that it has taken nearly 100 years is truly impressive. Real estate is the worst. But 4.4 percent is something, compared to nothing. Investing a hundred dollars in a property for a hundred years results in over 5,000 dollars, which is impressive. Gold (6.48 percent) is better. Corporate bonds offer an impressive yield of 6.96 percent. But investing in the S&P 500 brings a yield of nearly 11.51 percent. This return is phenomenal. The result means that every six and a half years, your money doubles. But let's not forget that if you hit the initial public offering of a company that has a future and a good product,. It can make you a several-thousand-dollar millionaire in no time.  But recognizing such a company in times of huge competition is like hitting the lottery numbers. However, the risk can sometimes be worthwhile when investing in a company that holds patents. But whatever you invest in brings dividends. Occasionally there is disappointment. Consider investing in a property in an area that is experiencing a decline in value. When the market is calm, gold does not grow, and you are waiting for a crisis. You come across a company that has appointed a bad manager, and the excellent company declares bankruptcy because of this bad management. Risk wins, risk loses. There is no reward without risk. But let's not forget that the thing that can make us very rich is something like an idea. Your creation is the key to your wealth. You might consider selling the idea, but it would be beneficial to at least sketch it or create a prototype.
