I was raised poor living in shacks on the west side of the Big Island of Hawaii, and the rich are the most miserable people I know, They spend most of their time worrying about people taking their sh*t. Famous people are worse, people take their sh*t all of the time until they're broke like they were before they became famous.

Hody,
So true. When I read articles like this the picture I imagine is of a person sitting in their chair saying "I could do that," but never gets out of the chair to actually do anything. They put down everyone, artists, athletes, actors, entrepreneurs, etc. Ask anyone who is successful and they'll tell you it took practice, training, education, and failure to succeed. The key, they didn't give up.

The thing I'm not seeing in this thread is the number of people who fail WITH family support. Extreme success is always the outlier. And really, if they personally made anything more than 10x the investment, it is due to their own work.
Now, the unsaid part of the thread: envy and resentment towards those who have more than you. Statistically, most of society is becoming more wealthy. Based on Census data since 1970, adjusted for inflation, the number of US households making less than $100k (what most people call "rich") per year are decreasing at all economic levels. Lower income groups are changing slower than middle, but the number of families in the "rich" income levels are going up. Are you going to be a billionaire through hard work? Probably not, but you are likely to be better off than the previous generation.
