    “Self made billionaires” is propaganda. No billionaire is self made. Their billions were leeched off all the workers who created their wealth.

      I would just like to hear the opinions of the two dumb cunts who downvoted this. Do they think billionaires are genius visionaries who saved us plebs from lives of mundane squalor?

    Not a fan of him by any means, but I believe the Zucc managed to become a billionaire at 23 without inheriting all or most of it like a bunch of these new young billionaires.

    Still built his wealth off the back of others like any other billionaire, but I believe he’s one of the more “self made” ones. Still couldn’t have done it without family connections and risk-free loans most of us couldn’t get, though.

    I wonder how many poor people under 30 had their formerly middle class parents homes bought by the rich.

    There used to be a saying “never sell the family farm”. I suspect this came from a similar period of massive transfer of wealth to the rich.

      I thought she came from a wealthy family that used their influence to give her a huge advantage entering the music industry.

      Still, she has played her cards exceptionally well. But I don’t think you can claim being self made when you had advantages that 99.9% of your competitors didn’t have.
