Samsung actually does a lot more than people think.
iPhone users don't even know they can't do without Samsung. Lol.
- Samsung makes the OLED screens inside your iPhone 🫵🏼. They also make RAMs and processors for different brands.
- Samsung built the Burj Khalifa, Taipei 101, and the Petronas Towers.
- Samsung owns JBL, Mark Levinson, and Revel.
- Samsung builds ships such as oil tankers and container ships, at massive scale.
- Samsung makes EV batteries that power cars from various brands. So, if you own an electric car, there's likely a touch of Samsung in it.
- Samsung is making Tesla's next-gen AI6 chips in a billion-dollar deal.
- Samsung runs life insurance and a brokerage firm in South Korea.
- Samsung owns and runs an amusement park called Everland, South Korea's largest theme park.
- Samsung is building the first Korean-built nuclear power plants outside Korea, in the UAE.
And guess what?
Samsung started in 1938 as a noodle and grocery shop.
Dear Hustlers,
Private Equity is one of the fastest ways billionaires create wealth, yet most people never learn how it works.
In 2007, Blackstone acquired Hilton Hotels in a deal worth about $26 billion.
They spent years improving operations, expanding the brand globally, and increasing profitability.
When Hilton returned to the stock market, Blackstone gradually sold portions of its stake over several years, ultimately generating tens of billions of dollars in value from the investment.
Now imagine the same model in Nigeria.
Buy a private school for ₦70 million.
Invest ₦50 million in new classrooms, a computer lab, school buses, better teachers, and marketing.
Enrollment grows from 400 to 1,500 students.
Five years later, the school is valued at ₦950 million.
Or buy a neighborhood restaurant for ₦18 million, renovate it with ₦30 million, expand to three branches, and sell it for ₦650 million.
Or acquire a small bakery for ₦50 million, improve production and distribution, and later sell it for ₦350 million.
That's private equity.
Buy.
Improve.
Grow.
Exit.
The biggest fortunes are not built by trading businesses.
They are built by transforming businesses into more valuable assets.
Are you learning?
Read like Cristiano Ronaldo spends time in the gym. Read across the board. Then read based on your specific interests. Practice your writing like Lionel Messi does before games. Start out writing for yourself. Keep it simple. You will find your own path.
Everyone shut up I just learned a new word:
Eremition
(eh-ruh-mish-un)
The act of gradually fading from the lives of others, not out of malice, but a desire for solitude or renewal.
