I've given a bunch of advice in my life, some was useful, some missed the mark, and over time after learning to listen to people, I think I've gotten reasonably good at it.
And that's why I'd add to everything that's been said another pattern on why people don't listen to my advice: because I'm not rich.
Instead of considering that some knowledge is domain-specific, I've seen a trend in people valuing halo-style anything said by someone that's much more financially successful then them, regardless if this matters with the problem at hand. I'm not sure if this is something that's increased recently, just my anecdotal observation.
