My actual line of work involves advising those who have just sold said businesses...........They have had to try, try, try,try, fail and try again before they succeed.
A chunk of luck helps too - just ask Richard Branson how he met Mike Oldfield, for example.
Shouldn't stop you from trying though.And, of course, you pretty much only see those who have eventually succeeded. For every one person who sells a business for £10-20m (where they still own enough equity to generate a truly life-changing sum of money), there are 100 more who don't. Regrettably, hard work, spotting a market, understanding how to build a business and innovation aren't enough.

Probably already been said, but "find a job you enjoy and you'll never have to work a day in your life".
Easier said than done, though.
It is exactly this sort of thinking - ie the supply of dull and unglamorous products - that makes people rich.manufacture disposable gloves for the NHS
or bags for life for Tesco
you will be super rich

What age bracket are you in? how long are you looking to not work for?
23. As long as I live.

Unless you have amassed a pot of money to keep you going which is unlikely at your current age or have extremely wealthy parents or family members they will leave you everything they have then your ambition is doomed.
Hypothetically if you did achieve the required wealth, what would you actually do with the rest of your life?
What do you want to achieve? as every known self made person has not given up on work once they secured financial security.
Prostitution, something you would probably enjoy, but could also earn you a stable income, with tax incentives.
