I mean, literally the first person listed is Elon Musk. If you think he’s a hard worker who only got there through grinding then I have a bridge to sell you.
You’re going to take a single counter example and throw out everything else? I also mentioned there are different types, and some are like Christy Walton, who haven’t worked at all. But neither of those examples means that there aren’t a bunch of workaholics on the list.
Look, at least most of us agree that the wealth inequality is grotesque, but I’m not sure why you have a hard time with the concept that a lot of people get rich by focusing on making money and working very hard at it. I have a hard time with the concept of a CEO making orders of magnitude more than the average worker’s salary, but that doesn’t mean they don’t work a lot.
Ah yes, a single counter example, also the person who leads the list. And I disagree, having people do presentations and going “ah yes, very good” isn’t a fucking job. These people don’t work.
What are you basing that on? Here’s a list - most are workaholics.
Hard disagree. Proud of you for posting a list of richest people though. Here I have a link too https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/
What are you disagreeing with?
And I in no way was saying that the wealth inequity wasn’t absurd.
That most are workaholics. I do not agree with that. Like the general premise of the comment you posted is what I disagree with I guess?
Oh, well, that’s pretty well documented. Most of those guys started companies and worked giant amounts of time.

There are how many people on that list, and you’re picking one of them? What about Gates, who was the top four a long time? Dell? Buffet?
You have a preconceived notion, and you’re sticking to it, regardless of data.
