    Thing is, you obviously can become reasonably wealthy by following the first chart, if you’re talented and 1 in 10 thousand lucky, whereas the second chart has a significant success rate.

    The mega rich are too weak-willed to concede they’ve essentially hit a 1 in 60 million Powerball. Winning the lottery warrants glee, not pride.

    Billionaires all exploit the working class—or at the very least they all inherently rely on its occurrence, without exception.

    I’d add a third slice to the second pie: steal your way there.

      To make the odds in your favor even worse, all your competitors have an existing fortune and ARE exploiting the workforce. Good luck 👍
