What’s your definition of rich here? Because earlier you said “born in a rich country”, so I guess about a billion of us qualify? Assuming you meant something

Assuming you meant something else, most rich people in America are first generation rich. Of course, growing up here in a middle class or upper middle class household didn’t hurt, but they’re not rich because someone dumped $5mm in their bank account when they turned 18.
- HugoDaniel 8y agoAny "rich" definition eventually works. OP could have started by defining it instead of doing spaghetti moves with a bunch of confused definitions. I am assuming he meant "wealth" for "rich" (as he ended the article with a joyful play on that). If you are trying to "get rich" in comparison to your local community as in "Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep", then being born in a rich country will give a huge leverage to acquiring those assets in poorer countries or any other acquisition/opportunistic startegy that eventually increases your passive income. If you are trying to "get rich" in comparison to the whole world, as in comparison to the 7.6 billion of us you could just get any job because living in a "rich" country automatically makes you an outlier and monetizing your time is enough to make you "rich" by any other poorer country standards. If you are trying to "get rich" in comparison to the richest persons on the whole world. Well, good luck with that in a poor country ;)
