If You’re a Dude Named John, Robert, William or James, You’ll Probably Be More Successful Than Your Friends

So I guess you can thank your mom for your big paycheck.

An Ernst & Young study was checking into the fact that there are more men who sit on corporate boards than women.

Ok, sure we totally knew that already, Ernst & Young, but they were checking into it anyway.

They discovered that their hypothesis was correct, loads more men sit on corporate boards than women do, only 2,150 of the 13,850 people sitting on boards in this study were women.

But here's where the interesting thing came in, they discovered that 2,200 of the men were named either John, Robert, William or James.

That's more than the total amount of women. There's a lot to learn here, but the easiest take-away is that if you want your baby boy to live in a suit & tie and make a lot of money, name him John, Robert, William or James.
