All of the above routes are just vehicles to use to become a millionaire. There are countless ways to become a millionaire. You can become a millionaire in almost anything, the key is leverage, work smart and come up with a solid business plan. Then work your plan dilligently and stay on course. Obviously you can't become a millionaire working for others; it's very rare, unless you're a top executive.
But don't worry, if you're working for someone right now you can still become rich. Are you young and in your twenties? You can invest a portion of your money every year (at least $2,000) into a secure investment that pays 10-12% a year and do it consistently for at least 25-30 years and you'll automatically become a millionaire by the time you retire. Anyone can save that little bit of money if you really have the will. Cut out magazine subscriptions, newspaper (read it online), eat out less often, rent movies instead going to see it, stop smoking, don't buy candy, etc.
You're probably thinking, "How am I going to find a safe investment that pays 10-12% interest a year?" Good question, because there's many investments out there that pay that kind of interest.
It's not buying stocks blindly and throwing your money in mutual funds or the stock market without any clue of what you're getting into. Most people lose money when they invest in stocks because they don't know anything about the market and just buy the stocks their broker recommends.
Examples of investments that pay 10-12% a year and are relatively safe are tax liens, mortgage notes, private loans to real estate investors backed by real estate, etc. And there are many more ways out there to find good investments. The key is to know where to look and what to look for.
Also, you need to educate yourself, by that I don't mean getting any more degrees. I mean an education in finance by reading more and learning from successful people by finding out what they do and where they invest. Go to seminars and workshops. Learn about trusts, estates, asset protection, life insurance, wealth strategies. It's well worth it if you can retire early with lots of money.
