Key Takeaways
Identify high-ticket luxury items currently exclusive to celebrities (like 20-foot beds for NBA players) and create a D2C brand to target wealthy consumers.
Maintain a level of technical literacy to avoid the 'lossiness' that occurs when trying to translate a visionary idea from a non-technical founder to a developer.
Distinguish between probability of success and magnitude of success; while talent ensures a high floor, the 'billionaire' ceiling is often dictated by the era and market leverage available.
