8 Best Money-Making Quotes From The Richest Men in The World (2025)

1. Warren Buffett: “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.”

Warren Buffett is one of the richest and most successful investors in the world today.

With an estimated net worth in the hundreds of billions. Over a hundred and forty billion dollars at the moment, and well over sixty years of experience in the financial markets.

Being really successful in his investment ventures, he has gained priceless wisdom for building massive wealth.

And if there were to be a price tag on this golden financial wisdom, it is literally worth his billions of dollars.

He is also well known for his financial discipline, and as a father figure of long-term investing that has inspired a whole new generation.

A clip From Warren Buffett on investing (get the clip on the video episode).

“If You Are Investing,

If I’m Gonna Buy A Half Interest In A Macdonalds.

I Look To The Business To Determine Whether I Made A Good Investment.

I’m Concerned About, You Know, Whether We Have New Competition, How We Do Over The Years. But It’s The Business I Look At.

When You Are Just Looking At The Price Of Something,

You Are Not Investing.”

This quote from Warren Buffet, “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.”

Is so insightful for people that want to know more about the billionaire’s way of making financial decisions. It highlights a major difference between how much something costs and how much value it has.

A clip From Warren Buffett on Price and Value (get the clip on the video episode).

“If You Buy Your House At Twenty Thousand Dollars,

And Somebody Comes Along Next Day Says “I’ll Pay You Fifty”,

You Don’t Sell It Because He Quotes Fifty.

You’d Look At The House Or Whatever It May Be.”

Here, he talks about how Price, is just the dollar amount that you have to spend, while value is actually what it provides.

This is one of the most powerful money-making quote shared by Warren Buffet.

It is through this same principle that his most successful investment strategies lie, which have gotten him to hundreds of billions of dollars.

Based on Warren Buffet’s investing principles, he doesn’t just chase cheap or trendy stocks.

His strategy is to focus on the companies that have a long-term potential, and can keep offering value to people for a long time. That’s why there are times when even if he has to buy these companies at a higher upfront cost, it doesn’t really matter.

The two most important things to keep in mind from this Warren Buffet’s quote are price and value.

This can apply to almost every financial decision you have to make. Whether it is an investment, a business, buying stocks, digital assets, investing into a crypto project, or something more personal like buying yourself a new real estate property.

Look well beyond the actual price tag, And focus on the value it provides.

Because even in investing, high prices, don’t always mean a bad investment, just as, lower prices don’t always mean a good investment.

As some people may think, the lower the price of their initial investment, the more profits they will make.

Which the successful investor Warren Buffet, after decades of experience, don’t necessarily agree with that. Since from his principle, it doesn’t only depend on the price but the value it has.

In a nutshell, this is where Warren Buffet’s value investing strategy comes from, and it has consistently made him more billions of dollars over the years.

Just like the most successful investor, Warren Buffett, we saw earlier. By the way, there will be another powerful quote from him in this episode, You wouldn’t want to miss that one too.

You'll hear a very good one from the man who made billions of dollars through fashion design (Ralph Lauren). He really has a unique story.

2. Bill Gates: “If you are born poor, it’s not your mistake, but if you die poor, it is your mistake.”)

Bill Gates famously said, “If you are born poor, it’s not your mistake, but if you die poor, it is your mistake.”

This is one of the most motivating quotes from these top billionaires.

Bill Gates is the founder of Microsoft, the leading producer of personal computers most of us use.

And presently, he has diversified his impact through his foundation, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, with its major cause of fighting poverty worldwide.

This quote carries the power to change people’s life because it helps keep everyone accountable to their financial life.

The main thing he saying here is, there are some things we can’t control in our lives:

o The place where you are born,

o The family you are born into, or

o The country you are born in.

Because you may have (if at all), very little influence on where your life starts.

But if you take control of your financial future, make the right choices, and take the right actions, it will determine where you end up in life and how successful you become.

And we think this is true.

Because from what we’ve seen, there have been people with far worse starts in their lives than most others, who successfully made a name for themselves and where even able to cross the billion-dollar mark and go over it.

We will talk more about this later. Just let us know in the comments below if want to see these successful people and how they became so financially successful.

This is why we often tell you all to take control of your financial life.

o To keep investing in yourself, at whatever stage you are at right now.

o Learn new skills,

o And keep building relationships with valuable people.

Because even though for some people opportunities may not come easy, it is only through making the right decisions, taking the right actions and your determination that you could eventually become financially successful.

And this is where the power in “…dying poor is your mistake” actually lies. Because it shifts your focus from blaming any other external factors that holds you back.

To focusing on the things you can control and working towards building a better life for yourself.

Some may not know that Bill Gates actually went to Harvard but he later dropped out to build Microsoft with another cofounder of the company.

Though his decision to drop out from a prestigious university like Harvard may have seemed risky at that time, he focused on building a better financial future for himself.

And look at today, his company has had a huge impact on hundreds of millions and even billions of people all around the world and made him a fortune of well over $100 billion-dollars.

That’s the purpose of Genie Finance: it is for you to take control of your financial life and build a better life for yourself no matter where you are at the moment.

3. Warren Buffett: “The best investment you can make is in yourself.”

This is another famous and really valuable quote from Warren Buffett. And it is not a surprise, with years and years of successful investing, he has some of the wisest and most valuable words you will ever hear from these top billionaires.

One thing about Warren Buffet is that, he doesn’t only share the most timeless financial wisdom, but also the most practical insights even for people just starting out.

Just like the last one where he talks about Price and value, here he is talking about the idea of investing in yourself.

Even though it has been commonly shared among people, Warren Buffett popularized this idea worldwide during his speeches and interviews over the last years. Pointing out how important personal growth and self-improvement is, to achieve financial success.

Investing in yourself is not only about learning new skills as we already talked about that.

o Taking care of your health and well-being is another very good way to invest in yourself.

o Also improving your mindset to achieve greater success, like:

· The videos you are watching,

· The courses,

· The podcasts and audiobooks you listen to,

· And the books and articles you read.

Because investing in yourself offers the highest returns with the lowest risk over time than anything out there.

You can’t really lose an investment in yourself as you can lose a financial investment, which financial investments are sometimes risky and the rewards are usually lower.

This is one of the core believes we hold ourselves.

Investing in yourself is one of the most important habits anyone can adopt in life to achieve success.

Set aside some time each day to:

o Keep learning,

o Reading books or insightful articles,

o Listening to podcasts and watching educational videos,

o Taking courses,

o Or even going out there and practicing hands-on.

With your main focus on areas that align with your goals. Because you will continuously improve your value in all these aspects of life. Which can also increase how much you earn and how successful you become.

Even at the levels of success Warren Buffet has been able to achieve, learning new things is one of the habits he still has to date. He has made it a routine to spend about 5 – 6 hours each day reading.

That’s one of the richest men in the world still investing in himself daily.

This one is from one of the founders of Google.

4. Larry Page: “Always deliver more than expected.”

Larry is a founder of one of the world’s biggest technology company, Google.

He grew the company from a search engine in the early days into the massive company it is right now. Offering diverse services, primarily search on Google, which is still Google’s search engine.

And other services like:

o Video sharing and search on YouTube, which is also owned by Google.

o Google Advertising, for people to advertise their businesses online.

o Email services with Gmail,

o cloud storage services,

o and even mobile phones.

And that’s just to name a few.

The range of products and services at Google continues to exceed expectations over the years and only keeps improving.

Over-delivering, isn’t only for businesses, but any other field that you can think of. Whether you are in a career, or even in your personal interactions.

Delivering more than what is expected will always make you stand out the most. People will trust you more, and they will always want to work with you again.

Also, people will have a lasting positive impression of you on their minds. That’s how doing extra can be rewarding for your business, your career, and even your personal relationships.

And there are many ways to do it.

Over-delivering can range from:

o Offering additional services

o Or other mini services,

o Providing better quality solutions compared to others,

o Or exceeding deadline expectations.

If you can consistently over-deliver, you will become irreplaceable. Opening doors to career promotions, loyal customers and long-term financial success.

Actually, Larry Page and his cofounder almost sold Google for $1 million dollars in its early years when it was still just a search engine. But they kept improving the company year over year.

And today, Google’s parent company, Alphabet, is worth over one and a half trillion dollars. And Larry Page himself owns the largest shares of the company. Putting his overall net worth at more than $150 billion dollars.

Who knows about Google's second founder?

Here is one of the best quotes Larry’s co-founder has to say about making money.

5.  “Solving big problems is easier than solving little problems.” - Sergey Brin.

This quote was brought to the spotlight during a talk Sergey Brin did at a big tech conference.

A clip From Sergey Brin on Solving Big Problems (get the clip on the video episode).

“It’s Very Rewarding When You Work On Something You Think It’s Gonna Make A Big Difference

And Huh, Yeah. It’s A Little Bit Harder.

But I Think The Passion That One Might Bring With It Uh,

Brings So Much More Energy To That,

That You Are More Likely To Succeed.”

After he successfully built Google into a major technology company with his co-founder, Larry Page. With Google’s main aim of making information accessible to everyone.

This quote reflects Sergey Brin’s business philosophy, having his main focus on trying to solve bigger problems, with the belief that bigger goals inspire more creativity and attracts the best people to work on it.

Even though at first glance, solving bigger problems may seem more intimidating, it usually has higher rewards and these solutions have a much bigger impact on people’s lives.

Also, most people are certainly more interested in getting rid of their bigger problems than the minors ones. So it greatly helps everyone that has that main problem.

Most times solving big problems leads to some of the most groundbreaking ideas and massive financial payouts if you are successful.

Sergey Brin’s main lesson when talking about his business philosophy of how it’s easier to solve bigger problems is that: Everyone should at least try to tackle bigger problems in their fields. Because that’s where bigger opportunities and big rewards are. So it is better to identify an issue that affect a large number of people and try solving it.

By doing so, you stand a good chance of becoming a leader in your industry. And not only that, because it can also bring in millions if not billions of dollars in revenue.

It is with these principles that this two, Sergey Brin and Larry Page built Google to one of the most valuable companies in the world today.

Solving One Big Issue.

With Google’s first mission of organizing the world’s information and making it universally accessible and useful. To now Google’s parent company, Alphabet, worth over $1.5 trillion dollars.

6.  “The best thing a human being can do is to help another human being know more.” - Charlie Munger.

Charlie Munger was a business partner of Warren Buffett for a long time. And also known to be one of the most successful investors to have lived.

He mentored many other successful investors, entrepreneurs, and leaders.

Talking about helping people know more, he shared this in a speech he gave at Harvard University years ago. Saying how helping people understand things better has a huge impact on the collective growth of society as a whole.

Because individual success and achievements don’t really matter if you can’t help other people. And there are more ways to help people other than financial help. For Charlie, he says here that the best way is by helping people know more:

o Sharing ideas with people,

o Helping others spark innovations

o And sharing what we know.

Because sharing what we know with others has an amazing multiplier effect that drives collective improvement. Which leads to more success for every one of us.

That’s exactly why we created this platform, that’s why we created this channel, why we create these video episodes and articles.

Though his legacy, achievements, and wise words keep on inspiring generations.

That’s why we will drop another bonus quote from Charlie Munger, consider this a final gem of wisdom to commemorate his impact:

"The more you know, the more you can connect the dots." – Charlie Munger

(our comment: Charlie Munger’s achievements and wisdom has impacted many people. We wish peace to those who have left us. Charlie’s legacy continuous to inspire new generations.)

Thank you and let’s move on:

7. Ralph Lauren, “The most important thing is to be true to yourself.”

This is a famous quote Ralph Lauren shared and later said it often. It summarizes his philosophy both in fashion and in business.

This is one of those golden nuggets from a billionaire we must put in here. Because it is literally worth his billions.

His life philosophy and story of successfully making billions of dollars as a fashion designers says it all. And if you wish to know more, just leave a comment.

But briefly, Ralph Lauren is one the most influential men in the US fashion industry. He defined the “American style” and is the founder of the well-known Polo brand and more classic fashion.

He’s built a luxury company that offers products from clothing, fragrances, to home decor, and more.

And attributes his success and reaching billionaire status to his creativity, vision, and particularly to this: Staying true to his personal values.

He even opened up about this during an interview he had with Oprah Winfrey years back.

A clip From Ralph Lauren on Staying true to his personal values (get the clip on the video episode).

“You Can Be Inspired By People, Over The Years,

But You Can’t Be A Copy.

In Order To Last In Your Career, You Have To Be An Original.

And So For Me, It Was Always Originality.”

Though in the fashion industry, it can also be related to making money as well. Talking about how important authenticity is, in a world where people will often choose shortcuts to make fast money over staying true to their personal beliefs and values.

Ralph Lauren states that, he stays true to himself, without ever compromising on his core principles. He even said that the only true success you will have in life is aligning who you are to what you do.

And this is true.

Staying true to your personal beliefs and values is one of the most important things in life.

Genie community, this is from our own belief, you should not compromise on your ethics, your beliefs, or your morals, to achieve success. Because truly, the greater success comes from staying true to yourself no matter the circumstances.

This doesn’t mean you can’t change or improve yourself, Not at all.

But stick to your core values, beliefs and purpose.

This is really important, especially on your journey to financial success, because it might be the most tempting moments in your life.

Do not compromise your morals and integrity for the sake of making money faster, because it will most likely not be worth the deal.

It is through Ralph Lauren’s philosophy of staying true to himself that he successfully built a company worth billions of dollars in the fashion industry.

Proving how staying true to yourself, no matter the circumstances, can lead to massive success.

This is likely the last one.

8. Jeff Bezos: “If you double the number of experiments you do per year, you're going to double your inventiveness.”

Jeff Bezos’ company, Amazon, presently worth about $1.5 trillion dollars, has changed the way people shop in the world today. And it all started by selling books online in his garage in the early days.

Jeff Bezos has always been a major advocate to this idea of experimentation as a strategy for more growth and creativity.

A clip From Jeff Bezos on Experimentation (get the clip on the video episode).

“To Be Innovative,

You Have To Experiment.

If You Want To Have More Invention,

You Need To Do More Experiments

Per Week, Per Month, Per Year, Per Decade.

It’s That Simple.

You – You Cannot Invent, Without Experimenting.”

This is especially true in a market that changes constantly.

He further says how effort and innovation are directly linked to each other.

The more experiments you do or the more attempts you make: The more you increase the probability of major discoveries and achieving success.

This applies to any career field of your choice. Whether you are into sales, marketing, product development, or tech. Your results are directly related to the amount of effort you put in.

If you are:

o Trying new things,

o Learning from previous mistakes,

o And iterating quickly,

You increase the chances of finding massive success.

And this is the power in this quote from Jeff Bezos because, for him, success is a numbers game:

The more you are experimenting, the more likely you will actually find success.

Call it inventiveness, success, innovation. All the same.

It’s just like the popular story of The successful sales man; (And How He Doubles Sales In A Single Day.)

When he doubles the amount of sales calls he does that day, he is likely going to double the amount of sales for the day.

He will get 2x his actual result:

o More sales

o And more money.

And it’s the same too for marketing, publicity, ad spend… The list goes on.

The more you put in, the more comes out.

So don’t hold back and keep pushing your boundaries. Make experimentation a major part of your work, and be prepared to adapt to the results as fast as you can.

Genie community remember that the formula to succeed is to try, make mistakes, fail, and learn—again and again.

Relentlessly.

This is how most of the successful companies, successful people, successful products everyone talks about are created.

This is actually what turned Amazon in a very short while from an online bookstore into the giant trillion-dollar company it is today.
