Money.
Beautiful, exciting money.

About
Getrich uses her second-to-none knowledge of the emerging art scene in the UK to bring together some of the most talented artists working right now, into this one-of-a-kind exhibition that promises to enlighten you in the challenge of wealth accumulation.

Gamble a small amount of money, and there’s a chance you may receive a lot more in return. The odds must be in your favour though.

All you really need to do is charm someone who’s already done the hard work for you.

8. Invent something
The world needs new ideas, and ideas make money. You just need to have one, and you’re set.

9. Pretend
Just pretend you are. No-one will know any different, if you’re good enough at it.

10. Steal
Other people have more money than you. Take it.

11. Exploit a commodity
People want things, and will pay for them. All you need to do is position yourself between them, and take your cut. Oil is well known for making people a lot of money.

12. Exploit people
People need jobs, and they can do jobs which make you money. You don’t even need to do anything then, they will exploit the commodity for you, but you still keep the profits. Win-win.

13. Dream it
Close your eyes. Imagine you are at a cash machine. You tap in your pin number, and press “check balance”.
Let’s just say there’s a lot in there. Go spend it on whatever you like, or just enjoy the sight of all those zeros.

14. Lower your expectations
Wealth is subjective, so if what you consider as rich becomes significantly less, it is suddenly a lot easier to become rich.
