Suppose you have 100 million dollars. The probability of multiplying it tenfold to 1 billion is 20%. Going further, from 1 billion to 10 billion? The chance drops to only 15%.

But that's not the most heartbreaking part. If you only have 30 million and want to triple it to reach 100 million? The probability plummets to 2%.

It may seem like just a numbers game, but it actually exposes a harsh reality—wealth is never a linear growth. Each leap has an invisible threshold, and the higher you climb, the more bizarre the patterns become.

Some call this the "Great Filter." In astrophysics, this concept is used to explain why we haven't found extraterrestrial civilizations—because there are certain stages that are almost impossible to cross.

Wealth accumulation is similar. From tens of millions to billions, the success rate is only 2%. This isn't just a matter of numbers; it reflects a comprehensive filter involving resource allocation, opportunity access, and risk tolerance. Most people get stuck at this threshold, not because they lack effort, but because the probability itself is so cruel.

Those who truly break through often rely not just on luck—they understand the rules and seize opportunity windows that others fail to see.
