Oddly enough, none of that seems to hurt them any. :-)
I am yet to find a "rich person" who didn't start off "rich". Perhaps
not with their own money, but often with monied parents who funded their
startup.
Yes, a very, very few people strike it lucky and become rich relatively
quickly, but most windfall rich soon become poor again.
It doesn't take much careful listening to realise who are truely rich
and own it and those who have just borrowed it, or really owe it to the
bank, or are just the "employee" in charge of it.
You might be interested inthe book The Millionaire Next Door. It dispells
they myths you believe.
