I really like my life. I've arranged my life so that I can do what I want.

I do not believe in inheriting your position in society based on which womb you come from... I think a rich person should leave his children enough so they can do anything, but not enough so they can do nothing.

I always invest in companies an idiot could run, because one day one will.

My wealth has come from a combination of living in America, some lucky genes, and compound interest.

If you can't communicate and talk to other people and get across your ideas, you're giving up your potential.

I knew a lot about what I did when I was 20. I had read a lot, and I aspired to learn everything I could about the subject.

Just look at that Forbes 400. Takes a billion three to get on the Forbes 400 this year. And the aggregate wealth is just staggering. And those people are paying less percentage of their total income to the federal government than their receptionists are. [...] I'll bet a million dollars against any member of the Forbes 400 who challenges - me that the average for the Forbes 400 will be less than the average of their receptionists.
