[unchocked]

While the essay is cringe, given the enriched pool of unbounded ambition here I want to address the clickbait title.

If you want to be a trillionaire, the first question you should ask is why: to what end?

That kind of money is power, and power is just a means to an end. What do you believe in? What needs doing in the world? Follow that, and if you get it right you'll find the means will follow.

If you need to feel better about yourself, build a secure life and learn to be content.
