Becoming a billionaire doesn't come as a product of a specific formula that just anybody can follow, reveals Valve president Gabe Newell – as it was in his case, it's often due to luck.
Speaking in a recent interview with Zalkar Saliev on YouTube, Newell answers with what he thinks the difference is between billionaires and regular Joe Schmoes: luck. "In my case, it was luck, and it was being surrounded by really great people," Newell, whose reported net worth sits at about $9.5 billion, explains. "I'm not going to speak broadly. I haven't ever bothered to study the subject of billionaires and so on."
