Why Less Than 10% of the World’s Billionaires Are Inventors — And What That Means for You
🚨 The Myth We Grew Up Believing
From the time we’re kids, we’re told:
👉 “Study hard, get a degree, land a high-paying job, or invent something new — and you’ll be rich.”
Our parents repeat it. Teachers emphasize it. Society reinforces it.
But here’s the harsh truth: a degree doesn’t guarantee wealth. And being an inventor rarely does either.
According to Forbes, fewer than 10% of the world’s top 100 billionaires are pure inventors. Most of them didn’t “create from scratch” — they copied proven ideas, improved them, and scaled big.
🏗️ The Copy-and-Improve Secret
Think about it:
- Bill Gates didn’t invent the software that made him rich — he licensed it, improved it, and scaled it.
- Mark Zuckerberg wasn’t the first to create a social network — he just made Facebook more engaging.
- Google wasn’t the first search engine — they just made it faster and smarter.
- Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, didn’t invent cement — he produced it at scale for Africa’s booming construction needs.
The pattern is clear:
👉 You don’t have to invent something completely new.
👉 You just need to observe, copy intelligently, add value, and deliver better than the rest.
🎓 My Wake-Up Call After University
When I graduated, I believed education alone would unlock wealth. I thought maybe I needed to “invent something new” to be successful. But life taught me differently:
Wealth didn’t come from invention. It came from spotting existing needs and solving them better and faster before the opportunities were gone.
That’s how I built Digital Ninjas Cloud and Best Digital Ninjas. I didn’t invent web hosting servers. I bought server space, packaged it with better service, and sold it to people who needed it most. Later, I added AI marketing automation to help small businesses grow — not by reinventing the wheel, but by making the wheel spin faster for others.
🧑💻 A Case Study: Turning Skills Into a Business
A few years ago, I met a young man who had just finished his ICT certificate at Moi University in Nairobi. Like many, he couldn’t find a job after graduation.
Instead of waiting, I encouraged him to look around his community. He noticed many small businesses struggling with websites, emails, and digital support. I gave him access to our servers, and he started offering affordable hosting and IT services locally.
Fast forward: today, he’s running his own growing web hosting business, earning consistent income, and even employing others. He didn’t invent a new idea. He simply copied what works, improved it, and made it accessible in his community.
🌍 Why This Strategy Works (Especially in Africa)
- Africa’s digital economy is projected to hit $712 billion by 2050 (IFC).
- Many markets here are underserved and unsaturated.
- Copy-and-improve strategies built China and India’s economies — and Africa can follow the same path.
You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. In fact, reinventing wastes time. Success comes from spotting what already works and adapting it for your audience.
🔑 How to Copy Intelligently
- Identify proven products/services – Hosting, e-commerce, delivery, SaaS tools, etc.
- Add value – Make it faster, cheaper, simpler, or more localized.
- Stay legal – Don’t copy trademarks or patents. Copy the model, not the logo.
- Think scale – How can you serve 100, 1,000, or 10,000 clients with the same system?
