As low as your chances are, becoming a millionaire via the lottery is possible. Obviously I would never recommend that someone spend their hard-earned money on trying to win the lottery but it is an option!

Writing a book is a great way to accumulate wealth. You could have sales on autopilot all day while you go along your daily life. Most authors only make a couple of bucks every time they sell a copy but they sell thousands of copies a month.

Marrying a millionaire is the easiest way to become one yourself. Once you get married half of their assets become yours.

4. Start a Youtube Channel

13. Model

Are you easy to look at? If the answer is yes, you may want to consider modeling. These days modeling gigs aren’t just reserved for really attractive people either. More and more gigs are being available to plus-sized models and “girl-next-door/guy-next-door” regular-looking people.

14. Politician

I’m not sure exactly how this one works but it’s surprising to me that the average income of a politician is $175,000 but they all seem to have a net worth well above $1,000,000. It seems like they know something we don’t.

What I will say is that if you do decide to go this route, is to treat the dogs with kindness and respect. These are innocent souls. Make sure you have the right space and licensing before just getting two dogs and having them mate.
