The best example of a man who has become rich through his ambition and belief is Bill Gates who became the richest man in the world with a fortune estimated at 40 billion dollars.

On the other hand, some attempt to access the wealth illegally, by dishonest means. For example, the american Jack Alderman killed his wife to reach a premium for life insurance estimated to be about 20 000 dollars. However, certain people bite off more than they can chew. Take the example of the fraud of nearly 4.9 million euros at the « Société Générale » in 2008. Jérôme Kerviel, a single employee managed to divert this colossal sum in trafficker accounts within the bank. He finally fled and was arrested but eventually released.
