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