Plot twist: it was a closet gay with self-hatred!

?

Is that a problem?

It’s not an elementary question.

Best I can guess is: plenty of people, plenty of reasons. Which is a stupid answer.

It’s not sufficient, but it is necessary

It certainly helps a lot!

But again, there’s something different about them. that made them different from many others from a similar start.

Wonder what it could be

Slaves didn’t own slaves

You need to own stuff that others value

Plenty of people in that situation who aren’t Bezos rich, no?

Makes me think that explanation isn’t sufficient.

Why’s that?

Same. There’s no gold standard, money is a social construct.

I wonder if the people who think like this, also assume “if bezos had less money, I’d have more”.

If you already have enough money to burn, you can put money into various high risk areas and win overall.

That’s the angel investor strategy.

There’s also lower risk index funds, that simply invest in the biggest N companies.
