These stories of larger-than-life characters, strategies, and sacrifices reveal how the wealthiest did it, usually by a passion for finding loopholes, working around bureaucratic systems, and creating obstacles to competitors. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWealth Secrets of the One Percent\u003c\/i\u003e gets at the heart of our feelings about the 1% of top income earners and the roughly 0.0001% who achieve billionaire status: we love to hate them, but we'd love to be them.
