It down tonight and spend an hour writing a plan to use your skills to make $100m in the next decade.

My skills are not the type that could generate $100mm in the next decade. Or multiple decades. But others have skills or knowledge who have made $100mm in a decade. Or less.

In my industry i work with a lot of self made 100s of millionaires. They all talk about laying people off to afford a vacation, not paying employees if they under bid a contract, every short cut to always make it someone elses fault and someone elses problem. They get their vacations in the tropics no matter what.

Part of my reply was based on math and assumptions. It's unlikely, mathematically, that every person who has made family legacy wealth is a bad person (my phrase to summarize not doing everything on the "up and up"). I don't doubt your personal experience with those folks who choose to take those actions. They are not on the up and up. But that experience is limited.

FWIW, I work with people who have made family legacy wealth. And while I can't prove a negative (that they have not done anything bad), by all appearances they appear to be on the up and up - including how they treat their employees (who I have sometimes met) - during the operation of the company, and when the company is sold (including several examples of owners who have granted equity to those employees, even when the sale was imminent). And I have also worked with similar clients who "do the right thing" including when it comes to contracts with others. And sure, some of those people might have done something else (maybe their names are in the Epstein files), but not all of them.

You're right. He's not. Yet he's also the kind of person who thinks people get wealthy by laying off value-producing people, and playing dirty. He will come up with whatever BS necessary to reinforce his worldview and sense of identity, that people can only get rich at the expense of others. Just more villager, cracker-culture mentality that has to have an enemy to feel normal.
