In addition, a policewoman is running behind him to catch at a speed of 60 km per hour.
However, the distance between them at present is 30 km.
Here, the policewoman will catch the thief after 1 hour.

If you see the above table, 1 lakh (0.1 million) investment has become only 33 million in 100 years.
While at the same one crore (100 million), wealth has grown up to 3,393 million.
You can see in the chart that 1 lakh investment is flat in 100 years and one crore wealth has grown significantly.
So, it is very clear that we cannot beat one crore wealth with 1 lakh investment if invested in a mix of asset classes where both will get a 6% return on investment (ROI).
When will 1 lakh investment beat 1 crore wealth? …
Here, let’s assume that your neighbour invested the same real estate and gold as said above case and got an ROI of 6%.
While at the same time, let’s assume that you have invested in a mix of assets—real estate, gold, and equity (mutual funds, etc.)—and got a higher return than your neighbour.
In this case, you will definitely get more wealth than in the first case. (more than 33 million).
If you see the above table, one core has grown just the same as in scenario 1) as we have assumed 6% ROI like in the first scenario.
But 1 lakh investment has grown up to 552 million, unlike 33 million in the first scenario.
As we got a 9% ROI in this scenario.
In addition, as you can see in the chart, the 1 lakh investment is not flat like in the first scenario chart.
At what ROI will both 1 lakh investment and 1 crore wealth be equal in 100 years? …
If you see the above table, you can see both 1 lakh investment and one crore wealth has given the same wealth in 100 years.
But this will happen only if your 1 lakh investment gives you an average ROI of 11% in 100 years.
and your neighbors one crore wealth grows at ROI of 6%,
In addition, you can see both the grey line and yellow line in the above chart met at the same point, which means both the investments have given the same wealth.
But you may have got a doubt about how to get 11% ROI in your investment, i.e., 5% more than your neighbour?
Yes, a 5% extra return is possible if you invest in the equity market along with gold and real estate.
Every investment will not give you a constant ROI every year.
The return can be low, high, zero, and negative also
Read this article about low return and zero return scenarios and how your overall return will be compromised.
So, if you invest in gold, real estate, and equity based on your risk tolerance,.
In case one asset is giving a negative return, the other two assets may give some positive return.
And if you rebalance the portfolio again and again periodically, in a long period, you will end up accumulating more wealth than investing in only fewer assets like gold and real estate.
If that happens, as I said in this article, your 1 lakh investment can also beat your neighbours 1 crore wealth after some time.
How much money should you invest today to beat one wealth in 35 years with ROI? …
Some of you may argue that we will not live for 100 years, and my age is 25 years, and I would like to beat my neighbour’s wealth of 1 crore in 35 years. (at your retirement).
In addition, you may say that you are ready to invest more than 1 lakh.
Let’s check that scenario also with the below images.
If you see the above table image, if you can invest 19.95 lakh at 11% for 35 years, your investment will be able to beat 1 crore wealth.
In addition, you can see in the chart that the yellow line crosses the grey line and ended much higher than the grey line.
and the wealth created is also much bigger than your neighbour if you invest 19.95 lakh today at an ROI of 11% for 100 years.
Conclusion…
I do not know that you really get a 5% extra return if you invest in the equity market along with real estate and gold.
One thing I know is investing in a multi-asset portfolio will increase your overall portfolio return.
In addition, equity is also capable of giving more inflation-adjusted returns, like real estate.
So, neglecting equity and not investing enough both are bad ideas.
