There's a new breed of wealthy individuals arising today.They're cashed up and ready for adventure - but not just any adventure.They're out there experiencing the kind of adventures that only certain types of people can afford.They're calling them "Thrillionaires".Nik Halik is one of them.He's a self confessed "adrenalin junkie" who takes himself on the most amazing adventures around the planet, under the planet and more recently, out in space.Among his repertoire of accomplishments, Nik includes diving five miles into the icy waters of the North Atlantic, to land on the deck of the famed Titanic and having lunch there.Perhaps there is something symbolic in that, because this ship, made famous by the movie of the same name, was the playground of the rich and famous at the time of its demise.From the dark depths of the ocean, Nik's hunger for thrills have taken him to scale the mountains of Everest and beyond.He has been one of the privileged few to realize a childhood dream of becoming an astronaut and to gaze at the curvature of the earth from space.The package included a short stay on the International Space Station, the only manned outpost in orbit.He remembers the surreal experience of being able, in his own words, "to blot out the earth with his thumb".Nik is also the first flight-qualified and certified civilian astronaut from Australia."I have already been to the edge of space, 20 miles (32 kilometres) from the surface of the earth," he said."Now we are talking about 250 miles from the earth.".Nik's ultimate goal is to walk on the moon.Being able to afford such unreal adventures requires money - and lots of it.But Nik Halik was not born into a wealthy family.He is a self-made millionaire, become thrillionaire.His early years were spent as a broke musician in a rock band, doing gigs mainly in restaurants, pubs and the like.When the Australian fringe benefits tax laws changed in the late 80's, dining out ceased to be a "tax deductible" expense for business and the small-time music entertainment industry suffered as patrons of eating houses diminished.Nik subsequently found himself in debt and needed to find an alternative solution to his cashflow problems.Then he discovered option trading.He learned proven techniques that work and spent many hours backtesting years of data, to "get the feel" for stock market charting patterns that yield highly probable results.Through focus and discipline, he developed his own cashflow strategies that yielded him a very healthy return.Nik then used this new disposable income to invest in the property market, with such success that by the time he reached his late 20's he had amassed quite a fortune.In 2001 he founded the Financial Freedom Institute (FFI), Money Masters and also co-founded the Intelligence Group of companies and became a wealth educator, teaching his stock market and property investing techniques to thousands globally.Today, he includes best-selling author on his list of achievements.Nik believes that anyone can do what he has done.He doesn't regard himself as specially gifted above other human beings, but will tell you that it's all a matter of training your mind and emotions to shift into an "abundance mentality".Once you adjust your thinking, you can "reach for the stars".Nik Halik has done that, literally.

Nik Halik - Thrillionaire
