How to grow 1 million networth to 10 million networth in 10 years time?

I have reached 1-million-dollar net worth. My next goal is to reach 10-million-dollar net worth in 10 years' time. I've asked Chat GPT what the 10 ways are to hit the 10-million-dollar net worth and what are the probability of success.


Here are 10 possible ways, with a rough probability of success (my estimates, not guarantees):


1. Aggressive Stock/ETF Investing

  • Invest in growth stocks, small caps, tech, or emerging markets.

  • Requires discipline, timing, and risk tolerance.

  • CAGR target: 15–25%.

  • Probability of success: ⭐⭐ 15–20%.
    (Possible, but hard to sustain 10 years without major drawdowns.)


2. Real Estate Development / Leveraged Property Investing

  • Buy undervalued property, use leverage, develop/rent, and compound profits.

  • Works especially in fast-growing cities like Singapore, Malaysia, or overseas hotspots.

  • CAGR target: 20–30% (with leverage).

  • Probability of success: ⭐⭐⭐ 25–30%.
    (Good if you understand property cycles and financing.)


3. Build & Scale a Business

  • Starting your own company with scalable growth (tech, e-commerce, services).

  • Businesses can grow much faster than passive assets.

  • CAGR target: 30–50% (if successful).

  • Probability of success: ⭐ 5–10%.
    (High upside, but most businesses fail before scaling.)


4. Private Equity / Angel Investing

  • Invest in startups or private businesses before they grow.

  • Can return 10x or more if you pick winners.

  • CAGR target: 25–50%.

  • Probability of success: ⭐ 5–10%.
    (High risk; most fail, but a few huge winners can carry portfolio.)


5. High-Level Career + Stock Options

  • Work in top roles (tech, finance, biotech), negotiate stock options.

  • E.g., executives at FAANG, startups, or unicorns.

  • CAGR target: 20–30% via comp + equity.

  • Probability of success: ⭐⭐ 10–15%.
    (Needs career leverage + luck with company success.)


6. Hedge Fund / Quant Trading

  • Active trading in equities, futures, or crypto with strategies.

  • Needs skill, system, and discipline.

  • CAGR target: 25–40%.

  • Probability of success: ⭐⭐ 10–15%.
    (Possible if you’re exceptional, but most traders lose long-term.)


7. Cryptocurrency & Blockchain Ventures

  • Investing in crypto projects, tokens, or blockchain businesses.

  • 10x is possible (crypto already produced many 10x cases).

  • CAGR target: 30–60%.

  • Probability of success: ⭐ 5–10%.
    (High volatility; huge upside, but timing is everything.)


8. Franchising / Multiple Businesses

  • Buy or start franchises, scale to multiple outlets.

  • Cash flow + reinvestment accelerates growth.

  • CAGR target: 20–25%.

  • Probability of success: ⭐⭐ 15–20%.
    (If you pick the right franchise model and location.)


9. Combination Strategy (Barbell Approach)

  • Core safe investments (bonds, index ETFs) + high-risk bets (startups, crypto, trading).

  • Limits downside while keeping upside open.

  • CAGR target: 20–25%.

  • Probability of success: ⭐⭐⭐ 25–30%.
    (Balanced risk, not all eggs in one basket.)


10. Partnerships & Joint Ventures

  • Team up with others to pool capital, skills, and networks.

  • Could be in real estate, startups, or funds.

  • CAGR target: 20–30%.

  • Probability of success: ⭐⭐ 15–20%.
    (Stronger with good partners; weaker if trust or management issues arise.)


🔑 Key Takeaways

  • To grow $1M → $10M in 10 years, you need very high returns (~26%/yr).

  • Safe passive investing won’t cut it (likely $2–3M max in 10 years).

  • Realistic best bets: property leverage, building/scaling a business, or barbell strategy (some safe + some moonshot bets).

  • Probabilities: Only 10–30% chance realistically, unless you take big risks and succeed.
