There is one thing that all rich people do for fun, and it may be partially responsible for their bank balance.

Steve Seevold was a poor young student when he interviewed the first millionaire. Today he is a millionaire himself who interviewed more than 30 rich people over the course of 1.200 years and discovered that they all have one thing in common.

Namely, everyone is educated by reading.

"Enter the house of any rich person and one of the first things you will see is a huge library. With the help of books, they educated themselves and learned how to become even more successful," claims Sibold, adding that the middle class, on the other hand, reads novels, tabloids and entertainment magazines.

However, the rich would rather be educated than entertained, and one such example is Warren Buffett, who says that he spends 80 percent of his day reading.

According to Thomas Corley, author of the book "Rich Habits: The Daily Success Habits Of Wealthy Individuals", as many as 67 percent of wealthy people watch less than one hour of television a day. By comparison, only 23 percent of poor people watch less than 60 minutes of television.

Likewise, only six percent of rich people like to "take a look" at some reality show, while 78 percent of poor people do the same.

Many rich and successful people did not go through classical higher education, but they compensated for that by reading, writes the Independent.

"The masses believe that the path to wealth is higher education, but the rich are not interested in the means, only the end goal," explains Sibold.
