I do not covet material wealth as much as many of my fellow brown folks. It’s according to the hard data and this pole position spreads all the way back to the 20th century, meaning this is no Johnny-Come-Lately phenomenon. And it’s not even close!

But I don’t want to give it all away here. Watch on to learn much more- it could help you earn a higher level of $$$ too regardless of your ethnicity:
