Who ever told you that getting rich was easy? There are almost no examples of that happening unless you were to win a contest or inherit the money.
99.9% of rich people got that way by working hard, failing, getting back up and working hard some more. Try it...you might find it rewarding and it will certainly eliminate some of the time you are spending on dreaming about hitting it big with no effort on your part.

There's no real easy way because if there was then everyone would do it and even then it'd become harder with the competition. Becoming rich is a feat that's justified by the effort. (unless you mooch off of mommy and daddy)
You should look into real-estate, or if you're creative become an inventor. But the richest people become that way by starting a business, so you might consider taking classes in economics.
Also investments, futures trading, and stock market are a great way to go. If you're a savvy entrepreneur, try ebay bartering and selling. People make enough to put some bread and butter on the table and more than you could imagine doing that.

The easier way to become rich is to spend less than you earn, spend your money carefully by considering the value versus the cost, and letting time work on your side. The sooner you begin saving even a small amount the more your money will accumulate and work for you. Stay away from credit cards. Pay cash when possible. Put away at least 10% of your income for long term investments. Easy??? No. Making money, saving money and having money takes discipline and discipline is not easy. Make your savings automatic. You cannot spend what you don't have. It is easier today to start saving and becoming rich than it will be in 20, 30 or 40 years so start building wealth TODAY.

Sorry, but just the fact that you're asking is telling me that you will have hard time getting rich. Unless of course you win a lottery or something like that, but even than there are no guarantees. There are too many examples of people winning lotteries and ending up in bankruptcy.
Paris Hilton did not work hard to become rich, but she doesn't ask this question. Watch her she will go through a lot of rehab and crap. Easy money does not work. Period!

getting rich is easy, you just need to invest, and invest at a young age. try to stay living at home with your parents as long as possible so you are saving your money and not spending it on stupid things. its best to go to college so you can earn more money, but never forget to invest, use money in every pay check or at least every month. investing money into a a retirement fund like an IRA, or putting money in a CD or have a mutual funds investor that will put your money into many accounts and have it appreciate over time. it is easy to make money off of money as long as you have it...hope this helps

Join a non-combative branch of the military, let them pay for your college education, join the medical or research field, do a career enlistment making 7,000 dollars a month, and save your income.

Invent something you can make cheap and sell for a high price that everyone will want. Get a good patent lawyer.

I think you are dreaming. Buy a lottery ticket. If you win, it does not get any easier than that.
Everyone else who gains wealth works for it.
