No. I was implying that some ppl prefer to work and have an easy life if it means max time with family. I provided a very very simple example and you wanted to argue SO BAD that you over looked it. You then typed this pseudo intellectual post when in reality, I don’t give a damn lol.

People wanting to be a teacher making “not very much” but contributing to society and spending evenings, weekends and summers with family doesn’t mean they don’t wanna “kill it” as originally stated. It just means they prefer more meaningful things than money.

That isn’t hard to grasp. Stop wanting to argue so bad. It’s easy to see what I meant by my post. Next time I’ll type it out for you.

Don’t be so angry.

I make more than 50k. As a matter of fact... with the amount of OT available at my department, if I play my cards right, I could pull six figures this year.

Most rich people have inherited their wealth. Rich people are still people and they fear being looked down on. For this reason, they make themselves appear busier and more important than they really are. Luckily for them people worship money and there is plastic surgery.

Where do you have the information from that most rich people have inherited their wealth? This is just not true, all statistics say otherwise. Most rich people are self made.

The statistics can say whatever you want because the definition of "self made" is totally subjective. Pretty much all wealthy people consider themselves self made, even blowhards like Trump.

OP is making an over-generalisation.
The real rich who are that way because of being work-a-holics aren't actualy known or seen - because they're at work.

Rich people who are out and about and are known for being wealthy, it should not be assumed in the least that they are work-a-holics.

Most rich people built wealth themselves not inherited it. You only hear about the people that inherited money more frequently because they are blowing it, living fast and flaunting what they've got on social media. Statistics prove it. If you google, just about every source/statistic there is shows over 80% of millionaires are self made.

Dan may have been born with a silver spoon, but he used that silver spoon for networking, marketing, etc. Compare his life-style now to 10-15 years ago. A quick google shows his net worth is approximately 150 million. His instagram partying and all the whores are just publicity/marketing for his businesses. I doubt if anyone knows what his trust fund entails but its pretty unlikely it was 150 million. He's one of the small percent of people that isn't completely self made in the sense that he had a lot of capital behind him. But he also built a instagram/party empire on his own.




Trump got his start with a million dollars handed to him. His net worth is 3.1 billion. So he built that empire on a monetary sum of less then a third of one percent of his current net worth? Pretty much the equivalent of someone giving you $3,333.00 and you turning that into a million dollars then everyone saying "BUT THEY GAVE HIM $3,333 TO MAKE THAT MILLION DOLLARS! HE'S NOT SELF MADE!" Only using that argument because people talk about Trump being given his first million like its a big deal.

The statistics do not take into account what people consider themselves to be, they use real numbers. Most rich people didn‘t and couldn‘t have inherited wealth since they come from a lower/middle class background. Of course there are some that inherit wealth (like Trump), may they be aware of it or not. Those are usually the ones present in media, which is why they seem over represented.

I made my money to become financially independent entirely from hard work and so have practically all the rich people I got to learn to know in the process. It‘s the old „the little man can‘t get ahead“ cope, that only prevents people from even trying.

No one knows how much Dan Bilzerian received because it was literally stolen money via his corporate crook father. What are his revenue streams? He used to claim it was poker until he got massively called out for fraudin'. Curious what his story is now.

Trump was given $60M, handed the keys to a real estate empire in his 20's, and plugged into a network full of the richest people in the world. And STILL, after all that, would be a wealthier man today had he just bought index funds and fell into a coma for 40 years. Just a regular ol' bootstrappin' billionaire, eh? Man of the working class.

The recurring theme here is every single person, no matter their circumstances, considers himself self made. The term is meaningless.

LOTS of factors are hard to quantify. To me, self made doesn't just mean direct inheritance or cash gifts. Social background, support structure, educational background, and all sorts of other things go into it. Do you consider Kylie Jenner self made, as she's called in the media?

CEO of our company gave us a speech the other day. His company we work at grosses 12mil~ a year. He owns about 4 of them.

He put it like this "Money will take care of 95% of the problems you have outside of your office. I guarantee this."

I'll add that he is a high school drop out and was self taught most of his life. Reads books all the time, and hands them out to everyone.

I don‘t know enough about Kylie Jenner to answer that. But your original argument was that „most rich people have inherited their wealth“. If you want to change it to „most rich people had a strong social background and support structure, regardless of their financial background“, that‘s debatable. It would however still have to be statistically proven.

Most rich people are more efficient with their time and not lazy bums like you. While you make ****ty threads and mindlessly drone all day on misc rich people produce real value in the world. That in turn creates massive rewards. Thats real work. I rather work hard for myself 80 hours a week now and live like a king in 5 years then go back to my past life of barely working 40 hours a week and not having the fun coupons to live i fukking want understand

I’m shocked people let you get away with this. Using percentages with massive sums of money is not “equivalent.” Turning a million into 3.1 is not equivalent to turning 3 grand into a million.

You shouldn’t need the bodybuilding misc to explain to you the difference in investment/purchasing power between 1 mill and 3 grand.
