Can someone suggest a plausible way to become a billionaire from ones own efforts?
I’m thinking writing stories, but any legal way is good. Or you can tell how someone else did it. No inheritance please.

You asked this already once.
One sure way not to is sitting around and asking questions on Fluther. One way to start is to go out and get a job.
@janbb Sorry I thought it was a year ago. I am looking for a job in fast food… You can make $5000 a month , 60,000 a year, working 12 hours a day 7 days a week at Mcdonalds. This question was for fun.

$5000 a month at McDonald’s? Maybe if you’re Ronald himself.
If this is the case, then why do they have such a high turnover? Even the managers at the McDonald’s near me don’t stay for very long.
Think of something people could not refuse to buy.
Design it, Make it, Harvest it, whatever….
Sell it to everybody. Everybody.
That is how they do it.
@josie Like a Windows software that doesn’t crash?
build up your own international drug empire, tony montana style.
you can not.
Even Bill Gates did not become a billionaire on his own. He had an army of programmers under his command that did the legwork.
If it were so simple, why wouldn’t everyone do it?
Steve Martin had the answer, but he was down in the millionaire range. Here’s his answer adjusted for inflation: “First get a billion dollars.” Pretty easy.
Open a frozen banana stand.
If you want to be a billionaire, then you should try to be a trillionaire.
No such thing as becoming rich from “one’s own efforts”, that and other silly terms like “self-made millionaire” are highly manipulative and propagandist forms of rhetoric.
It is always (I know of no exception) a collective effort, either by others providing some sort of material assistance, or simply exploiting others. This collective effort includes prior generations, who necessarily contributed to the very technology, infrastructure and body of knowledge you would need to make use of to do whatever it is you imagine doing to make yourself a billionaire.
@ucme – sure seems like it, don’t it?
You will most likely never get rich by asking how to get rich. The right questions are this:
What do I really care about? What am I passionate about? What am I really good at?
Then create a list and ask the questions:
What items on my list are not very widespread among other people? How many people will ask for these items on my list?
Be born rich. That’s how you get to be a billionaire. Except for a statistically improbable minority.

Save back a dollar a week for one billion weeks and BAM! you’re a billionaire.
as a fallback @Haleth is right. there’s always money in the banana stand.
