Many millionaires are thought to be one way but are not…

Jaime Tardy, author of “Eventual Millionaire,” spent more than three years interviewing over 130 millionaires from all walks of life to find out what makes them tick and what makes them different from us non-millionaire folks. She identified a few misconceptions most people have about millionaires — that most are born into wealth or that they just  got lucky. Here are five myths that may surprise you.

Myth #1: Millionaires are smarter
“One of the millionaires I interviewed actually got a note on his report card that he had all Cs and the teacher said that he was a daydreamer and wouldn’t make anything of himself. So it doesn’t necessarily matter whether you’re book smart or not. A lot of people also have ADD and dyslexia that I’ve interviewed. They pride themselves on really pushing past the limits, seeing opportunities where a lot of other people don’t, being really creative — those things that aren’t really measured in school.”
