Do you have dreams of being a millionaire?

How about making that first billion?

To make it easier, try picking up some dollars from Zimbabwe.

The central bank of Zimbabwe recently introduced the $100 billion bill – now that is something to show off!

Unfortunately, due to rocketing inflation, the $100 billion bill can’t even buy you a loaf of bread.

You would be lucky to get four oranges for it.

The country’s official inflation rate is 2.2 million percent, an amount that is difficult to even contemplate.

When I heard about the announcement it reminded me of a family friend’s visit to my home from Alabama a number of years ago.

He was a wealthy, successful entrepreneur who told me that the hardest million to make is the first million.

He then handed me a 1,000,000 Turkish Lira bill ($US value less than $1 at the time) and told me that I had my first million and to now go after my second.

If you want to impress your friends and show them how you made your first hundred billion, why not pick up some Zimbabwe currency?
