The world is always curious to know as to what billionaires do, once they get there, and how they do it. Everyone is curious to find out just about everything about them. They are keen to know as to how they spend their time and balance their business goals and personal life.
Here’s a take on some of the top billionaires the world admires. A normal person puts in 8 hours a day at the office, 5 days a week. That makes it just 40 hours a week. As against that, look at what the billionaires do.
Elon Musk claims that he works 80-100 hours a week. That makes it 100 hours out of 168 hours in a week.
Elon Musk is a business magnate and founder of Paypal, SpaceX, Tesla Motors etc. and one of the richest people in the world.
Apparently, Bill Gates works 16 hours a day. That means he works 80 hours a day if he works 5 days a week and 112 hours a week if he works 7 days a week. Bill Gates is an American business magnate. He is a software developer and co-founder of Microsoft Corporation. Bill Gates is a voracious reader and spends a lot of time reading. He reads up to 50 books in a year. Besides his business interests, he focuses on charitable work. He also sets aside sufficient time for his family.
Mark Zuckerberg is an internet entrepreneur and co-founder of facebook. He is not an early-morning person. He gets up around 8.00 am. Then he checks facebook and other internet platforms such as WhatsApp, Instagram and messenger. He works 50 to 60 hours a week. He also spends considerable time with his family.
For Jeff Bezos of the Amazon fame, sleep is top priority. He realizes the harmful effects of sleep deprivation. He says that he sleeps 8 hours a day which means that he ensures 56 hours of sleep a week out of 168 hours. In other words, he spends one-third of the day sleeping.
For Warren Buffet, reading occupies the top slot in his daily routine. He spends anything between 5 and 6 hours reading each day. That means he spends anything between 35 and 42 hours a week reading out of 168 hours. In other words, he spends 20 to 25 percent of this time reading. Warren Buffet is an American businessman known for his acumen in matters of investment.
Jack Dorsey is believed to work 18 hours a day which makes it 90 hours a week if he works 5 days a week or 126 hours if he works 7 days a week. In other words, he spends 75% of his time working. This looks like the routine of a workaholic—someone who works like mad—someone who is sure to become permanent fixture at the office.
This insight should help you to plan your day and work schedules in your run up to the billionaires’ club.
