Stories of rags-to-riches celebrities

Wikipedia says, the “term rags-to-riches” refers to any situation in which a person rises from poverty to wealth, or sometimes from obscurity to fame. This is a common archetype in literature and popular culture’... No doubt, these stories give the poor people, and also not so poor but definitely not the rich class, hope that they too can earn name, fame and wealth. They are most popular in societies like that exist in the United States.

Typically persons who acquired good fortunes are those who took advantage of the best opportunities available to them. And there is no other way to make riches better than investments. The best returns, and a steady one too that cannot erode even in difficult times, or devastating wars or famines, is the ability of real estate investments to bounce back.

Can everyone become a real estate investor? Yes, if one acquires the proper knowledge about real estate. One of the best institutions you can come across for this is Nouveau Riche University, a Real Estate Investment College, to elevate your status to a “rags-to-riches” celebrity. Their colleges help students to select courses within various curriculum paths. Each of their college courses has been designed to teach you "how-to" real estate investment concepts and strategies. You can understand the advantages and also disadvantages of several short-term and long-term real estate investment strategies.

You can also experience a dynamic education in the midst of like-minded people who share common goals and interests with you. You can participate in case studies, classroom discussions and role-playing exercises that will aid your information retention. The best part is, they will help you build your confidence while learning the procedures, concepts and rules of the real estate investment game. Better yet, they will be there to support you as you put your education into action on your journey to become a wise real estate investor.

For those who are interested in the type of studies Nouveau Riche University can offer, here is what we can learn from the life of Shin Kyuk-Ho who appeared in the list of billionaires of 1991. Shin delivered milk and newspapers in his youth, moved to Japan when he was 21, and then made his money in selling chewing gum in post-war Japan. The Lotte Group was established by him. In the Forbes Magazine, Shin was 387th on The World's Richest People list in 2005, and moved up to 136th place in 2006 (at the age of 83). Shin sits atop a $26 billion empire. A typical rags-to-riches story!

A press release states that Dr. Laura Palmer Noone, the former President of University of Phoenix, was named as the Chief Executive Officer for Nouveau Riche University. Dr. Noone holds a long list of accolades and accomplishments. She has served as vice chair and as a member of the US Department of Education's National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity and currently serves as a member of the Arizona Board for Private Postsecondary Education and on the Arizona Family College Savings Plan Oversight Committee. This, of course, is a good news!
