My, my... would you believe that in The United States alone, you will find 3.9 million millionaires, the highest population on the globe.
And 8.5% of Singapore's population are millionaires...and here we are trying to figure out on how to get our first million... (Now, do you think it is difficult to be a millionaire?)
By the way, to get the full story, you can go here..
1.Time - enough time to allow savings to accumulate and returns to compund
2. Discipline - to stay the course, live within your means and save a sensible portion of your income
3. Risk taking - a willingness to take at least some risks with your money
A little bit of luck would also help as would living in a country which does not have have punitive rates of taxation - but the absence of luck or the presence of high tax rates will not stop someone who is deterimined to get there.

Well said, traineeinvestor..:)
However, most youngsters today (the ones that I come across, at least) will tell you that they want to be a millionaire too, but
1. Not willing to wait for a long time and
2. Not willing to sacrifice and stay disciplined.. :(
