Depends how much money you are talking about. Millions, or hundreds of thousands? Or more or less?

How much money?

Manage a hedge fund.

Become an investment banker.

High ranking executive at a successful company

Invent something that people don't yet know that they need, and but once it hits the market they can't live without.

Two of my friends made their money in the easiest way possible. They married hedge fund managers. They don't have to work long hours (their husbands do, of course) and their only exertion is finding ways to spend all that money. It's not as easy as it looks, you know.

Dancers make so much money? I don't think so, unless you're talking about exotic dancing. Otherwise, it's very hard and there isn't much money in it.

You forgot to mention their husbands usually work 15 hours a day =)
My brother is an investment banker & financial analyst and the other a hedge fund manager. Money yes that they have plenty of. Sleep I don't think any. They leave the house around 7:00am and come home any time from 8:00pm to 3:00am (In Tokyo the market is open)

Both Columbia Graduates (In the Business Field) MBA Required obviously; Ivy League is usually helpful.

Today, the average person can't afford tickets to the games, thanks to the way-out salaries of players. It's a shame.

You know what! At least they make the really big bucks!

DH doesn't come home at 5 either. On to another job he goes. This is to stay afloat and save a bit! I have the difficult job of keeping myself from spending money!

My dear, you can make big money, but most of the time you have to invest big money too. Thos youtube shmo’s were lucky, not everyone else is. Are you looking to overwork and make biog money, or have a good time and earn a living?

I've heard a quote about that--I forgot who said it, but it was the owner of a large clothing company who said: "If you market and sell to people who drive a lexus, you'll end up riding the subway and if you market and sell to people who ride the subway, you'll be the one in a lexus!"
