Made himself independently wealthy. Repeatedly (IE: Not luck).
Not that I disagree with you. But that is worthy of respect in itself. Also, there is an art to the very difficult task of making the difficult look simple and easy.

- zeroonetwothree 14y agoThere have been many people that have won the lottery more than once. Does that mean they are skillful at winning the lottery?

Of course there is skill involved as well.
