Babylon – The City of Billionaires

Babylon – The City of Billionaires

Babylon (Greek Βαβυλών, from Akkadian: Babili, Babilla) was a city-state of ancient Mesopotamia, the remains of which are found in present-day Al Hillah, Babil Province, Iraq, about 85 kilometers (55 mi) south of Baghdad.

Babylon was the Richest city of the world 8000 years back. It was known for its Hanging gardens and wealth.

One interesting fact about Babylon is that, the principals of building wealth are still the same since past 8000 years. And these principles of building wealth also known as – The 5 Laws of Gold are given in the book - ‘The Richest Man in Babylon’ – by George Clason.

In the book, the author has given 5 laws of gold that the richest man of the babylon used to follow in his life. And these are the 5 basic principles of money which are useful to build the wealth.

And these 5 principles of money are still effective to build wealth in the modern world also. This shows that the principles of building wealth are never changed.

People say that the Investment is Risky. But Well, I say that Investment is not risky but the Investor is Risky. Basically anyone who follow the basic rules of building wealth can become rich and even super-rich (Billionaire) in their life.

You can say Babylon the city of Billionaires. Well, of course at that time there was no Forbes to publish the list of billionaires every year. But well, if Forbes was there at that time than Babylon would definitely be the city of billionaires….!!!
