Not really, as we all know the market fluctuates, and when it does come back up its going to be stronger than ever, history tends to repeat itself , so if anything he should keep buying low-end, med-end, and high-end real estate if he wants to become a billionaire very quickly! His wealth wouldn't be a billion dollars, but his net worth would be.

Wealth is measured in time - (how long can one provide for his/herself without working)

Net worth is measured in quantitative economic prop... [ More ]

Thats for sure

What does he want with all that money? If everything (or at least some) of what we read about him is true, he doesn't strike me as the kind of person that would need that kind of money. He just sits on it anyway. He doesnt even have extravagant purchases ( thank goodness) 120 or 130 million would last him 2 lifetimes at the rate he seems to spend; Even with the family trust. And he has already shown that he can't be manipulated by the investment sheisters.

I think he has a ways to go before becoming a billionaire.

I don't think he is anywhere close to being a billionaire. Even if he started out with 200 million he would still need to get a 400% return on his money in such a short period of time.

I hope he didn't put his money into real estate in 2005, 2006, or 2007. He would have lost a bundle.

I found this (partial) Brad Duke article a while back from 03/01/07

What happened to your job at Golds Gym?

I still teach a spinning class there twice a week. I took some time off after the whole thing because everybody had investment opportunities that were the greatest thing since sliced bread, and there were 100 of them every day. So I had to get out of there for a while, but when I went back, the people I'd been teaching for the last 8 years were still the same people, and I was... [ More ]

Maybe he finally realized that putting his face in the newspaper announcing he was going to become a billionaire wasn't very wise and is now keeping a low profile. What about Bunky? Maybe he found out that being so open about his winning spell would get him into some double, double, toil and trouble.

Brad Duke won 230 or 232 PB a couple years back and wanted to invest to become a billionaire. Did he become a billionaire or did he invest and increase his millions
