The answers to these questions in this book are: Possessing wealth or becoming rich means endless troubles. Only those who retain a lot of animalistic nature have a chance to become wealthy. If men come from Mars and women from Venus, where do the rich really come from? Ordinary people often suspect that the rich are aliens from another world. Is that really the case? Is their blood the color of money? Their spokespersons often claim that they can sense the signs of profit or loss from a distance. Is it because they are equipped with special receiving antennas?

Traits required to become wealthy: Please read the last chapter, "Conclusion: The 10 Laws of Becoming an Alpha Monkey." As for why, it will become clear after reading this book. The author claims to have straddled the themes of the rich and beasts, combining them in this book. From the perspective of a journalist, he observes the rich as animals, focusing on the long-standing question of whether the rich are truly different from us. He discovers that compared to ordinary people, they are indeed aliens—or perhaps more like animals than humans. With a humorous tone, the author reveals the strategies the rich use to establish dominance, their behaviors to flaunt wealth, the motivations behind their struggles for status, and their unconventional mating habits. Through comparisons with other exotic animals, the author allows us to see through the animalistic instincts of this dazzling group and understand that even in ancient times, when the ancestors of the rich were still sleeping around campfires, they had already established social behavior patterns that persist today. He also explores how these patterns continue to influence their behavior today, what new abilities they have evolved to make money daily, how they use primate dominance behaviors to retain their wealth, and how they transform wealth into social status.
