MIAMI (CBSMiami) - A new survey shows one surprising factor that can help predict how rich you will become.

It comes down to your ability to delay instant gratification, a new study says.

The study, conducted by Temple University says the top five factors that can influence wealth are: occupation, education, zip code, gender and delayed gratification.

Another surprising factor that predicts income is how tall you are, according to the study.
