1. Oprah Winfrey: Grateful
The former queen of daytime television doesn’t let her $3.1 billion net worth get to her head. Despite her abundant success, Oprah Winfrey's constant gratitude is truly humbling. In fact, Winfrey has had a gratitude journal for at least 10 years.
"I know for sure that appreciating whatever shows up for you in life changes your personal vibrations," she wrote in the November 2012 issue of "O, The Oprah Magazine.""You radiate and generate more goodness for yourself when you're aware of all you have and not focusing on your have-nots."
2. Warren Buffett: Patient
Warren Buffett, the second-richest man in America behind Bill Gates, built his roughly $65 billion net worth by simply taking his time. Not a fan of trendy stocks or knee-jerk reactions to market fluctuations, Buffett has a “set it and forget it” investing philosophy.
On the "Dan Patrick Show," Buffett said one of the biggest money mistakes when it comes to money is trying to get rich quick.
“It’s pretty easy to get well-to-do slowly," he said. "But it’s not easy to get rich quick.”
3. Bill Gates: Humble
If you want to become a billionaire and be like the richest man in the world, practice being charitable — and humble.
Bill Gates and his wife Melinda have devoted their money and time to improving the lives of the world’s poorest people. But despite his generous donations, Gates recognizes that others are making contributions that he says are more meaningful than his.
“I’m not giving up food, or vacation, or a trip to the movies” to give charitably, Gates said in a video interview for Reddit. “I essentially sacrifice nothing that I want, and there are people who are out in the field and they're giving more ... they're the biggest philanthropists.”
