CHAPTER TWO
Lesson One: The Rich Don't Work For Money

"Dad, Can You Tell Me How to Get Rich?"
My dad put down the evening paper"Why do you want to get rich, son?"
"Because today Jimmy's mom drove up in their new Cadillac, and they were going to their beach house for the weekendHe took three of his friends, but Mike and I weren't invitedThey told us we weren't invited because we were `poor kids'
"They did?" my dad asked incredulously I replied in a hurt tone
My dad silently shook his head, pushed his tiffany diamond glasses up the bridge of his nose and went back to reading the paperI stood waiting for an answerBy some twist of fate, I attended the same public school where the rich people sent their kidsWe were primarily a sugar plantation townThe managers of the plantation and the other affluent people of the town, such as doctors, business owners, and bankers, sent their children to this school, grades 1 to 6After grade 6, their children were generally sent off to private schoolsBecause my family lived on one side of the street, I went to this schoolHad I lived on the other side of the street, I would have gone to a different school, with kids from families more like mineAfter grade 6,these kids and I would go on to the public intermediate and high schoolThere was no private school for them or for me
My dad finally put chanel 2.55 down the paperI could tell he was thinking
"Well, son," he began slowly"If you want to be rich, you have to learn to make money
"How do I make money?" I asked
"Well, use your head, son," he said, smilingWhich really meant, "That's all I'm going to tell you," or "I don't know the answer, so don't embarrass me

new bicycles, new everything
Mom and dad provided us with the dolce & gabbana handbags basics, like food, shelter, clothes:, But that was about itMy dad used to say, "If you want something, work for it We wanted things, but there was not much work available for 9- , year-old boys
"So what do we do to make money?" Mike asked
"I don't know," I said"But do you want to be my partner?"
He agreed and so on that Saturday morning, Mike became my first business partnerWe spent all morning coming up with ideas on how to 1'make moneyOccasionally we talked about all the "cool guys" at Jimmy's beach house having funIt hurt a little, but that hurt was good, for it inspired us to keep thinking of a way to make moneyFinally, that afternoon, a bolt of lightning came through our headsIt was an idea Mike had gotten from a science book he had readExcitedly, we shook hands, and the partnership now had a balenciaga bag black business
