Because getting rich is one of the hardest things to do in society. It’s getting power + stability in one fell swoop and is everything humans are biologically built to value.
- codyb 4y agoWell... not really right? Cause lots of people are rich through inheriance. And lots through the lottery. SBY appears to have gotten very rich through a simple arbitrage trade. Props to him for exploring the space and making the moves... but it doesn't take a genius to see that if you can buy something for cheap in one place and sell it in another for more that you can make a bunch of money if you do it over and over.
- bergenty 4y agoSo a handful of people. I think that pretty much aligns with what I was saying.
- codyb 4y agoI'd say much more than a handful. Most of the super rich who made it through "smarts" had very rich parents. See Bill Gates, Elon Musk. Etc. See, all of the royalty of the world that still exist. See all of the oligarchs. It's no shocker the richest people in the world all seem to have gone to the same universities, come from the same families, etc etc.
