Having listened to 'good bad billionaire' for several episodes the formula is

  1. Create or inherit a company
  2. Do good at it
  3. Float it on the stock exchange
  4. Now own the bulk of a company whose stock values it at enough that your share is worth over a billion

Or

  1. Make an insanely popular game
  2. Sell it to Microsoft

Or

  1. Be the child of someone who did one of the above
