Did you know that half of the US millennial millionaires (44 percent) live in a single
[7]
state - California? The question that you probably have in mind is - do they move to
[12]
California after becoming millionaires or before?
[16]
But when you look at what's happening, the answer is clear. Silicon Valley is the center
[21]
of innovation and startups, so it's not surprising that young talented people move to California
[27]
to compete for the most lucrative jobs in tech. Software engineers easily make a few
[32]
hundred thousand dollars here. But that's not what makes them millionaires. Most companies
[37]
use stock options to pay employees. If you are a talented employee and you work
[42]
for Google, for example. They don't want to lose you! At the core of innovation and progress
[47]
is the human mind. So the best way to keep you working for them is to simply pay you
[52]
with stock option. You will receive a certain amount of stocks if you work for the company
[57]
for 3,5 or 10 years. A year passes or 2, and you want to change
[62]
your job and work for Zuck because he changed the name of the company to Meta. You can't!
[68]
Because if you leave, your options are going to expire, you have to stay till the end of
[73]
your contract to use that option. That's primarily what makes them millionaires.
[78]
In fact, when companies pay their employees with stocks, they are tax-deductible, so everyone
[83]
benefits. The company creates these stocks out of thin air. They are tax-deductible,
[87]
and they are worth a lot of money which makes these talented people millionaires.
[93]
It's a win-win situation. But it's not unusual for wealth to accumulate
[97]
in one city or state or in the hands a small group of people. 43.4% of the world's wealth is
[105]
controlled by the top 1%. The Pareto principle is visible everywhere.
[111]
But what we want to focus on in this video is, what are the investments you have to make
[116]
to be in the top 1 percent? What industries are going to dominate the future? And where
[121]
should you invest to never work again? We will answer all of these questions and
[126]
many more. But before we do that, give this video a thumbs up, and here is a little disclaimer.
[131]
This is not financial advice and everything that's said in this video is for educational
[136]
and entertainment purposes. 

[137]
Climate tech In the late 19th century, oil, as we know
[141]
it, was discovered and it has literally shaped the world since then. It led to the invention
[146]
of automobiles, cars, planes, and rockets. It led to the biggest infrastructure project
[151]
in the history of the US (highways) that shaped the entire country. In fact, if you go back
[156]
100 years ago, oil was the commodity that created America's first billionaire and the
[161]
world richest person. Young John Rockefeller realized the importance
[174]
of this commodity and quickly started building his empire, where he literally created
[205]
a monopoly in
[239]
the country. His personal wealth grew in 1913 to $900 million, which was almost 3% of the
[275]
US GDP. 3 percent of US GDP today is 630 billion dollars, which means back then, he was wealthier
[283]
than Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos combined. That's why his empire was broken into 34 different
[290]
companies. These companies still exist today and are leading the industry. This industry
[296]
has also shaped the geopolitics of the world, where it made middle eastern monarchies enormously
[301]
rich. Aramco, which is a state-owned Saudi company that controls the oil in the country,
[307]
is valued at over 2 trillion dollars, and a few years ago, it was the world's most valuable
[315]
company. However, the end of oil is coming. Wendover Production has a great video on this,
[320]
which you should definitely check out. ( https://redirect.is/ktq1c2t ) Despite the fact that there is still a lot
[324]
of oil left, in 2019, it has reached it's peak. The trend is now downward. Oil is going
[331]
to be more and more expensive to extract which means oil prices are going to keep either
[336]
rising or oil companies simple wouldn't be able to turn a profit. Which means the demand
[342]
for renewable energy is only going to rise. On top of that, climate change is a problem
[347]
that dangers the entire future of humanity. These 2 factors are fuelling the climate tech
[353]
industry. As oil has dominated the last 150 years, renewable tech is going to shape the
[359]
next hundred years. Just in 2021, Climate tech start-ups have
[364]
raised a record $32 billion globally so far. This number is only going to increase every
[370]
year. So, if you want to make an investment and be sure that it's only going to grow,
[376]
invest in this industry. 

[378]
2. Health care 

[380]
What happened in 2020 wasn't surprising. If you take a look at the history, pandemics
[385]
has been happening throughout history and the most recent one happened in 1918. It was
[391]
absolutely devastating. But in the last 100 years, as tech began to grow so rapidly, life
[397]
expectancy began to rise as well. We realized that if we take better care of ourselves,
[402]
we can easily live 80, 90, or even 100 years. If over 100 years ago, you would be lucky
[408]
to live past the 50, now life starts at 50, and 2020 was a warning that if we stop focusing
[416]
on our health, everything we have built could be destroyed in a glimpse of an eye. But that's
[421]
just one side of the story. The other is that, we can create technologies that can expand
[426]
our life span. For a long time, mRNA, for example, was considered as a hoax. But Moderna
[433]
came in and created the first mRNA vaccine where you don't need to inject the actual
[439]
virus but enough to use it to create similar cells. With this technology, we can create
[445]
drugs faster, better and cheaper. Anyone who has invested in Moderna has made
[450]
massive gains since then. However, biotech companies are just emerging. You have Vertex,
[456]
Roche, Pfizer. Of course, it's risky to make a single bet of any of these companies but
[462]
you can try vanguard health care ETF (VHT). It literally holds stocks of the most prominent
[467]
biotech companies such as Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and the rest.
[474]

 3. VTI
[475]
When people recommend an ETF, they usually talk about the S&P500, but it's not the only
[480]
ETF out there. S&p500 companies are great, but they are not the only companies in the
[486]
country. As of 2019, there has been 32.5 million businesses in the US, and thousands of them
[493]
are listed in the stock market. So you want to benefit from not just the top 500 companies
[498]
but the entire economy. Even Tesla just recently joined the s&p500, and there are plenty of
[504]
great companies that are not on the s&p500. The VTI ETF aims to replicate the composition
[511]
of the US equity market, providing a broadly diversified and low-turnover portfolio for
[518]
a cheap fee. It captures the entire investable U.S. equity market. It has a very low fee
[524]
which makes it great for long-term investments. It's one of my favorite ETFs.
[530]
4. REITs I have been in real estate since I was a teenager.
[535]
It's one of the industries that I absolutely love, especially for the fact that it provides
[540]
stable cash flow. You have total control over it, and it keeps sending you paycheques. Of
[546]
course, it requires some level of management but it's manageable to a certain extend. However,
[551]
not everyone enjoys that. A property means constant problems. You have to find tenants.
[557]
Something breaks down, you have to fix it, you have to pay taxes, renovate it, and a
[561]
million other thing. It's really time-consuming. What makes real estate so social is that real
[567]
estate prices keep rising. Even if they crash, they will eventually bounce back. Take the
[573]
biggest real estate crash of 2008. Prices haven't just jumped back to where they have
[578]
been but have risen significantly since then.  So how do you invest in real estate without
[583]
actually buying any property? The answer is REITs!
[588]
REITs are businesses that own and manage properties, and they are traded in the stock market. So
[593]
by investing in a REIT, you are investing in real estate indirectly. But what I like
[599]
the most is that there are REIT ETFs like VNQ that invest in multiple REITs.
[605]

 5. Online Education
[608]
With the rise of the internet. Education has become widely accessible, especially with
[613]
places like Khan Academy, Skillshare and others. We should have moved to online education long
[618]
ago, but we didn't. So 2020 pushed the entire world to move to online education, and it
[624]
seems like this industry is going to explode in the next decade or so. 
[629]
Today you can literally access any information on the internet, learn anything from YouTube
[634]
and master any skill from your favorite blogger.  There are multiple ways to invest in this
[640]
sector. Of course, you have traditional means such as eduction companies that are listed
[644]
on the stock market or ETFs that are focused on this industry. You can even get into this
[649]
industry on your own if you are good enough at something.
[652]
But I prefer startups in this industry because it's growing too fast and it has a huge potential.
[658]
I am almost sure that 20 years from now, education is going to look entirely different with all
[664]
of these new tools we have, such as VR. But If you want to experience online education
[666]
now, then check out my course on Skillshare that will teach you everything you need to
[667]
know about the stock market to start investing.  It's simple, straightforward and fully animated.
[668]
I have literally answered almost all of the questions you have in your mind. I strongly
[669]
recommend it if you are serious about investing. It will not just teach you how to invest in
[670]
index funds but teach you how to analyze stocks and read financial statements, and at the
[671]
end of the course, you will have to complete an assignment that I will personally check,
[672]
and the best part of it is that you can get 2 weeks of Skillshare premium if you use the
[673]
link in the description and get the course for free. So don't miss it.
[674]
You can also start your investing journey by getting 2 free stocks from we bull by using
