Actually, the Ultra-Wealthy Don't Own That Much Stock. You Can Invest Like Them for Less Than $1,000.
How do ultra-wealthy people get rich, and then become even richer? Certainly stocks like the ones you probably already own help -- but not as much as you might think. As it turns out, the wealthier people are, the less likely it is that their investments will mostly consist of conventional stocks. They're more likely to own real estate and stakes in privately owned companies.
The problem? These private investments are (by definition) not readily accessible to the average investor.
But they're more accessible than you might think. You can own these very same kinds of investments for less than $1,000, letting you mirror the returns that many high-net-worth households achieve.
