I hate to be that guy, but not always exactly this. I have relatives that were born dirt poor but are now rich. You can definitely say they exploited people to get that way but the birth lottery gave them nothing financially
The chart says that 50% get rich by exploitation and the other 50% by inheritance.
Edit: NVM, Im dumb and misread the meme. Still I doubt they were litterally “dirt poor” so birth lottery still applies.
You are dumb I agree. Because that’s what it takes to make up stories about other people’s lives to make yourself feel better.
These were people that literally grew up without indoor plumbing or electricity for years, in a community where owning a car meant you were rich. They were sharecroppers so they owned nothing and slaved away to make rich people money.
But sure they weren’t dirt poor because some dickhead on the Internet wanted it to not be true so they could keep generalizing people different than them as all the same.
From your other comments I gather that these people were born about 2 generations ago. In a time of economic growth and prosperity, I count that as luck. Also, I said “I doubted it” mr. nuance.
For sure, never ever trust a wealthy person’s origin story. Even trump and Musk claim to be self made.
Much better to go with the evidence of our eyes and ears.
You know nothing. I’m describing my great uncle, so I would have no reason to lie. No one else in the family is what you would call rich. I’m simply providing a factual counterexample because generalizing is the surest way to not understand nuance
I can almost guarantee you do not know a “rich” person per db0’s viewpoint
One does not reach the top by “treating employees fairly.”
Not sure your point. Yes you can get rich ONLY exploiting the poor and don’t need to be born rich.
I guess the op should have made it more of a venn diagram.
There are no innocent billionaires. They all trade human lives for profit every day.
How original
Yeah it’s a bit derivative. Everyone already knows this and agrees with it. It’s self evidently true. Nobody ever needs this explained to them, everyone already knows and agrees!
How rich people get rich: Assets.
I agree for the most part. I do know people who got rich by working hard, treating employees fairly and with empathy, and providing a useful service.

I would also suggest “Daddy’s credit card”.
