Israel dismisses genocide accusations as unfounded
When it comes to getting rich, there is no easy formula for success. Some believe it all comes down to hard work, while others believe there is also a heavy dose of luck involved. Astrologists will tell you, of course, that the likelihood of a person making the big bucks depends largely on personality traits predetermined by their star sign.
What do you think? Check out this gallery to find out which signs are most and least likely to get rich in 2024.
Bold and charismatic, Aries certainly has the ambition required to get rich. This sign needs to make sure to prioritize the right thing, however.
The easiest way to do this, Aries, is to make sure your job is your favorite thing in the world. That should give you the motivation to strive ahead.
Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is one of very few people in the world to amass a fortune of over US$100 billion. Perhaps his assertiveness helped him join the super-exclusive 'centibillionaire' club.
Aires was shown to have the second-highest concentration of billionaires, with notable big earners including Google co-founder Larry Page. Being brave, assertive, creative, and optimistic are typical Aries traits that may make for business success.
Capricorn is another sign that likes to look at a given situation from every angle before making a decision. This sign is never one to shrug off a silly mistake.
Instead, Capricorn will take a smart approach to getting rich. This sign will map out what has worked in the past and what hasn't and formulate their master plan accordingly.
Ambitious and determined, Capricorns tend to excel at business. Step forward Jeff Bezos! The richest person in the world from 2017 to 2021, Bezos founded e-retail giant Amazon from his Seattle garage in 1994.
Taurus is the perfect embodiment of the phrase 'work hard, play hard.' This sign really understands the value of hard work, but doesn't forget to have fun too.
The stubbornness associated with Taurus is also a blessing when it comes to making money: this sign will double down when the going gets tough, rather than giving up.
Taurus Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is another centibillionaire. His Taurus traits of being hardworking and determined may well have helped the social media magnate amass over US$100 billion.
Known for being dependable and hardworking, Taureans don't shirk from putting in a shift when it comes to earning cash. Among the richest people in the UK, British inventor and billionaire James Dyson is another mega-wealthy Taurus.
Just like Taurus, this fire sign knows the importance of sticking to your guns and not giving up just because someone disagrees with you.
Leos are also very instinctual, fast decision-makers. Couple that with their creativity and you have a sign with endless opportunities to make it big.
In 2019, Forbes named Kylie Jenner the world's youngest self-made billionaire. Her fortune has diminished slightly since then, but with her Leo traits of confidence and creativity, the model and cosmetics mogul looks sure to reclaim billionaire status soon.
Leadership skills are strong with Leos, which may have helped Sergey Brin soar to success together with his Google co-founder Larry Page. Self-assurance is another of the traits that may have helped Brin towards his multi-billion-dollar fortune.
Leos are towards the bottom of the table when it comes to the number of billionaires, but those who do make their fortune sure do it in style. With a net worth of over US$100 billion, Larry Ellison, co-founder of the Oracle Corporation, is among the richest people on the planet.
The sign second most likely to become rich is Scorpio. Often perceived as a little erratic or unreliable, this sign is, in fact, destined for greatness.
Trustworthy and instinctual, with an unrivaled ability to listen to heart as well as head, Scorpios see the world a little differently. Their unique perspective stands them in good stead to make money.
Russian tycoon and former owner of Chelsea soccer club Roman Abramovich may well have drawn on his Scorpio secrecy when making decisions. The billionaire brings his star sign's passion to the table, too.
Scorpios are known for their shrewd nature, which may have helped Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates become one of the world's richest men, with a net worth of over US$135 billion.
Topping this list as the sign most likely to get rich is Virgo. Level-headed and hardworking, this sign knows that with the right attitude, everyone has what it takes to succeed.
Virgo tends to find the thing they're most interested in and put all their effort into making it work for them. People born in Virgo also tend to be very humble, which makes them great candidates for getting rich.
And now to drive the point home, let's take a look at some of the world's most successful Virgos. First up is Zendaya, who was born on September 1, with Virgo season in full swing!
Virgos are known for their perfectionist nature, which may have helped Warren Buffett make flawless business decisions. As chairman and CEO of multinational conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway, he's a self-made multibillionaire.
Next on the list is Beyoncé (born September 4), whose impressive career needs little to no introduction.
Born on September 16, comedic actress Amy Poehler is also a Virgo.
Chinese multibillionaire business magnate, investor, and philanthropist Jack Ma has worked that Virgo perfectionism to his advantage, too. As co-founder and former executive chairman of technology conglomerate Alibaba Group, he never puts a financial foot wrong.
Last but not least is Tim Burton (born August 25), who is often considered to have pioneered goth culture in the American film industry.
On the opposite end of the scale, we have Libra. Libras have a huge amount to offer when it comes to making people happy and creating a better world. They're unlikely to ever become rich, however.
Libras have one fatal flaw when it comes to forging ahead: they are overly critical. Indeed, Libras tend to be very critical, both of their own abilities and the ability of others to help.
Pisces people tend to be very creative and are often keen to be part of something innovative and revolutionary. They are often held back by overthinking, however.
Just like their Gemini friends, Pisceans tend to spend so much time weighing their options that they eventually forget to just get on with something.
Good news! Some signs, even if not traditionally associated with wealth, have examples of millionaires. It appears that financial success might be possible for anyone, regardless of their birthdate.
Aquarius is right in the middle of the lineup, a sign that is neither very likely nor very unlikely to get rich. Aquarius definitely has the originality needed for success.
However, Aquarians can also be overly cautious about whom to trust with their ideas, and they can find it difficult to know how to make things happen for themselves.
As an Aquarius, Oprah Winfrey knows how to be self-reliant. And true to form, the self-made billionaire has worked her talk-show skills into a multi-billion-dollar media empire.
Sharing Winfrey's star sign, Michael Jordan was the world's first billionaire athlete. His free-spirited and independent Aquarius nature may have helped him find success on the basketball court and in his business decisions.
Cancer is often preoccupied with making a difference in the world, but that doesn't necessarily involve making money. In fact, a Cancer's idea of success is quite the opposite.
And that's probably for the best, too: to get rich, people always need to leave their comfort zone, and that is normally out of the question for homebird Cancer.
It seems Cancers really do like to look after their cash. L'Oréal heiress Françoise Bettencourt Meyers is the world's richest woman, with a fortune exceeding US$92 billion. She may have the Cancer family loyalty to thank for her incredible wealth.
Constantly jostling with Jeff Bezos to top the international rich list, Tesla and SpaceX mastermind Elon Musk has a fortune of around US$163 billion. Perhaps his Cancer intuition helps him know when to strike a deal!
You might expect Virgin Group billionaire Richard Branson to be a Virgo, but he's actually a Cancer! Traits include loyalty and being extremely protective—perhaps that extends to business interests and savings!
Sags definitely have the daring and the penchant for risk-taking that people need to get rich. They are let down by their inability to work with others, however.
Sagittarius would much rather be a lone wolf than take on the input of others, and that is normally this sign's downfall when it comes to making it big.
Crowned "hip-hop's first billionaire" in 2019, Jay-Z has many strings to his bow. Along with his musical earnings, he pulls in cash from assets ranging from champagne and cognac to home entertainment. His Sagittarian assertiveness may well have helped him!
Sagittarians are known for eliciting respect from all those who meet them, and that certainly rings true for billionaire film director Steven Spielberg.
Geminis have amazing intellect and are great fun to be around. But they have one characteristic that unfortunately means they're unlikely to become rich: indecisiveness.
Of course, not every decision should be spontaneous. However, weighing the pros and cons for too long, as Gemini tends to do, allows for others to swoop in and get ahead.
Kanye West, or Ye as he now prefers to be known, has lost some money lately after being canceled, and went from billionaire to millionaire. But he is still pretty rich! The musician and Yeezy sneaker magnate is a Gemini, with the star sign's famous duality possibly helping him succeed in fashion as well as music.
Donald Trump is another super-rich Gemini whose career and business interests have taken diverse turns. Known extroverts, Geminis don't shy away from a business opportunity.
