It's not a question of who's in front of or behind you. It's realizing that even if you received a ludicrous amount of money, repeatedly, over a ludicrous amount of time, it still wouldn't even scratch the utter lunacy that is the wealth of the ultra-rich. There is no way to earn that amount of wealth, in the sense of how you and I earn money. They acquired it by taking unjustly; there is no just way to become that wealthy.
Legal thieves, and their kin.
No shit, I was using the royal "you" to wonder about the already wealthy. What goes on in their heads.
Non-sense. Just be born rich, stupid.
This is how the vaat majority of wealthy people acquired the vast majority of their money. There was a study recently.
