I wonder how many rich people got that way thru hard/smart work and how many had it basically given to them.

having it given to you is no walk in the park either.

I know 6 brothers/sisters who each inherited $9 million from their parents.

2 are extremely successful, 1 just gets by, and 3 lost it all.

success is in a person or it's not.

i think i do ok for myself.
I earned some of it, although given help along the way for sure. Some of it was luck too- being born into the right family that helped me earn, having extremely smart parents, etc.

The Smith family here in UT (From Joseph Smith, Mormon cult founder) has retarded money. There's a Smith's grocery chain here that sold to Kroger and made SHITLOADS of money. When the grandchildren came into their trust accounts, they were all worth over $50M. All but one fell off of the mo-mo wagon and wasted it on shit. The other has a bunch of businesses that break even at best.

Sometimes it's just a matter of being around the right people at the right time.

I worked a deal the other day with a guy in Asia who has close to $10 Billion in assets...mostly cash.

I have a large bank account...but when he whipped out his POF, I almost wet myself.

If things go according to plan, I can retire in less than 5 years. I am 30 now.

It involves building an office building on prime real estate.

Wish me luck.
