MILLIONiares have to at least invest thier time, or money, job to get much. its the 10s-100s millionaires that are born wealthy+ billionaires. most of them, surprise dont really have much of job/or direction, thats where all the influencers(youtube,,,,etc) came from(most of them). even the humble ones can let money get to thier heads.
Aye. If not inherited then it's basically a fuckton of coincidences paired with incredible luck. Which they, in hindsight, call "hard work". Which basically was the same work everyone else did, but they weren't lucky. See YouTube. Millions try hard (for nothing) and a handful make big bucks. So I'm told, never used YouTube, I hate google ๐
But also yes. I rarely met a millionaire that wasn't some prick loving their own farts and bragging as hard as they could. I don't know why everyone wants to be so much "better" than everyone else. If you'd see me, my cars or my houses, you'd never ever guess the numbers in my bankaccounts.
