Biography & Early Wealth Journey

"My main focus right now is just to do something I never done. One thing I never done is make a billion dollars. I ain't done that, so I'm focused on that."

That almost sounds like it could be bragging or self-promotion, but apparently Future is taking the goal of being a billionaire seriously, elaborating that he's asked unnamed billionaires for advice on how to attain that rare status:

Primary Income Streams & Multi-Million Contracts

"Sometimes I ask questions, if I meet a billionaire, like, 'How'd you get to where you got?' Or, 'How'd you accomplish everything that you have?'" he explained. "I have those conversations with different people, successful people. But the way I get mine might be different. It just helps me to understand that I'm on the right path when I talk to people that have billions."

He continues, saying the billionaires he's gotten advice from seem to think he might just make it into the club:

"When I hear them talk, I be like, 'OK, I'm on the right path.' They reassure me that I'm doing the right thing. No matter what my music career is, I want to just be able to have that friend, somebody that always has my back, [and] just priceless individuals getting me wherever I need to go. Even when it's going crazy for me, I know I have priceless people around me. I got unconditional love."

Of course, it's worth pointing out that even music billionaires like Jay-Z or Rihanna didn't reach billionaire status purely through their recording and performing careers, investing heavily in other industries in order to make it happen. So it's unlikely that Future would become a billionaire just on the commercial strength of his next record, even if it's a massive smash. And it's also unlikely that Future doesn't know that, so it's a safe bet that if he's serious about his billionaire dreams they involve a lot more than just making music.
