I don't have a story for the poor guy trying to come out of poverty in the way you mean. The chances of becoming 0.1%-style rich are extremely slim and likely the best shot they have is to slowly work their way up so their children can be middle class and (if the children also work hard towards generational advancement) their grandchildren relatively rich. Getting Kardashian-style rich is unlikely to ever happen for more than a few thousand people in the world at a time. Telling people the truth (becoming extremely rich is very very unlikely) seems better to me than a beautiful but untrue story that might harm them financially (ie: invest in this shitcoin and we're all gonna make it).
Like you I think large wealth disparities in society are undesirable, but if those come from the way society is set up then society is what is going to have to change. If you really want to change society then set up a movement and convince large groups of people about your viewpoint, but be prepared for hostility from anyone with a vested interest in the status quo.
