  Even in his hypothetical, the founder is still not even earning a billion dollars. The actual people working to earn that collective billion are the employees. > that you don't have to cheat to become a billionaire I think he’s feeling some sort of way about this. He’s probably coming to terms with the fact that you do have to cheat to become a billionaire. Uber et al. showed you can just keep breaking the law and bribing officials to get to a billion quick. He and his buddies are currently having fun bribing Republican Party officials to make billions.

  Of course he presents a hypothetical person who honestly earned a billion dollars, because he can't name an actual example. All you have to do is double your million dollar business every month for a year and a half! I'm sure this genius would take me up on my offer to work for him for $1 on the first day and doubling it every day for a month, right?
