Accumulating a billion dollars

One view:

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.

Another view:


You forgot: "Create a valuable product that meets the needs or desires of consumers." It's called "capitalism," you neo-Marxist....


Most billionaires created a product or service that millions of people use. Elon Musk (Tesla, SpaceX) Bill Gates (Microsoft) Jeff Bezos (Amazon) Larry Page (Google) Sergey Brin (Google) Larry Elison (Oracle) Bernard Arnault (LVMH) Jensen Huang (Nvidia) Michael Dell (Dell) Etc... These companies aren't monopolies.


You charge 100K for a “speech.” Who is paying that?


Profiting from a Monopoly: Elizabeth Warren Family cashes in on the education monopoly as she fraudulenty claimed to be "Native American Insider-Trading: Nancy Pelosi Her husband’s stock trades—like $5M in tech before key votes—stink of insider info. Queen of timing. Political Payoffs: Joe Biden Hunter’s Burisma gig and China deals while Joe was VP? Pay-to-play. Fraud: Cori Bush Paid her unlicensed husband $100K+ for “security” from campaign funds. Inheritance: JB Pritzker Hyatt heir turned IL gov with daddy’s billions. Born on third base, claims a home run. Good call to point this out


You are describing democrats. For patriots, you make a billion dollars with these actions and attributes: 1. Innovation 2. Risk 3. Intelligence 4. Common sense 5. Hard work 6. Research 7. Knowledge 8. Marketing 9. Boldness 10. Desire
