Is 28 Truly the Number of Wealth?

Author: Jack Meyer

There is little doubt that you’ve heard of the unlucky number 13. The superstition often leads people to steer clear of it for many things. Have you ever heard of 28 being the number of wealth, though? If not, then you may want to become accustomed to it.

There are some out there who preach that this is indeed the number associated with wealth. Is there any sort of truth behind this thought, is what we want to know. How did it come to be the number of wealth? Here, we’ll delve into the thought process behind assigning 28 this status.

The Number 28 and Its Connection to Wealth

A recent explanation from a financial numerologist posted to TikTok spoke of the number 8 as the number of money. Right after that, he stated that the number 28 is associated with wealth. As a way of highlighting this, he asked the hosts of the interview to pull up an ad for Rolex watches. All the advertisements for Rolex watch from the official company display the devices with the date 28.

In the same breath, he discussed the correlation between birth dates and wealth, singling out some of the richest gamblers and individuals worldwide born on the 28th of any month. Among the notable names, he emphasized were Bill Gates, whose birthdate falls on October 28, 1955, and Carlos Slim, born on January 28, 1940. These remarkable figures have amassed immense fortunes and achieved remarkable success as prominent business magnates.

The numerologist then spoke of Steve Jobs being born on 24/02/1955. If you add those numbers together individually (2 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 9 + 5 + 5), it equates to 28. He also founded the Apple company on 01/04/1976, which again, if you add those numbers together (1 + 4 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 6), equate to 28.

Furthermore, he incorporated Apple Inc. on 03/01/1977, which when added together equate to what? 28 number of wealth.

The theory behind his musings was that people who have an association with the number 28 tend to be surrounded by wealth a lot more. The numerologist was quick to point out that it doesn’t necessarily mean a person who is associated with this number is rich. Yet it likely means that if they should ever need money at any point, it is likely to come to them in one way or another.

His ideas may be backed up by further looks at numerology, too. According to research, 28 often denotes those who are focused on creating abundance for themselves. The number can help people tap into creativity and intuition. This helps with achieving success in a person’s professional life. It could also represent a new source of income or a financial opportunity.

Some also suggest that 28 is associated with the manifestation of wealth. It can link to strong visualization skills. As a result, numerologists may agree that if 28 appears in your numerology readings for career or wealth, it can be a sign that you have what it takes to achieve success and have an abundant life.

Number 28 and Its Association with Bad Luck

It may not be as plain sailing as it may seem, though. While certain numerologists suggest 28 has a link to wealth, others believe it is an unlucky number.

If you look at Chaldean Numerology, you’ll find this to be so. Chaldean Numerology is an ancient system of numerology, thought to be the world’s oldest and most accurate system when it comes to numbers. Chaldeans believed that numbers contained the essence of the divine. As a result, numbers could lead humans to know more about their own lives and destiny.

When it comes to 28 number of wealth in modern times, the Chaldeans believed this to be very unlucky. Most of the other numbers in the 1 series are quite good and fortunate numbers. This is the only one that isn’t, making it a number to avoid. In Chaldean numerology, it gives promising success and pleasure in the initial stages, but it tends to then gradually reverse this. Anyone with a name numerology equating to 28 will likely face obstacles in whatever they attempt to do. They need to restart their lives over and over as a result.

To put it in simpler terms, people associated with 28 achieve short-term success. In the end, it always ends up that they lose everything or remain at the same level. Losses of friends and family, as well as money, are not uncommon with 28s in Chaldean Numerology.

Have you heard of the film 28 Days Later and its sequel 28 Weeks Later? The former sees a contagious disease erupt and spread across the United Kingdom. 28 days after this, the virus has taken hold, with only a few survivors left in the country. In the latter film, survivors hope to repopulate the country with the help of the U.S. Army, but not everything goes as planned. Granted, these are only films, but doubtless, there is a link to the potential unluckiness of the number 28 in their respective titles.

Final Thoughts

Before you run to your closest brick-and-mortar casino and put everything on roulette's 28, you need to know that, while there may be a vast number of people who suggest that 28 has strong links to wealth and success, this cannot be proven one way or the other. So many people exist around the world who are either born on the 28th of a month, have birth dates adding up to 28, or have some sort of other association with the number. The likelihood is that not all of them operate as wealthy and/or successful people.

For example, the wealthiest person in the world in 2023 is French businessman Bernard Arnault. He was born on March 5, 1949 (which when added together equates to 31). He co-founded LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton on June 3, 1987 (equating to 34). The letters in his name don’t add up to 28. Yet he still exists as the wealthiest person in the world for 2023 according to the annual ranking by Forbes. Thus, we should all probably take the association with 28 with a pinch of salt.
