Imho an intressting development in the completly wrong direction. However it shows the massive problem capitalism has, that it increases capital accumulation within a small group of people. It also is a strong argument against the idea of billionaires having earned their wealth.

    Becoming a billionaire is never about skill, or ‘spending time effectively’. Fast growth is also not a feat of a billionaire.

    I think you are grasping for a superhero that doesn’t exist.

      So it is just random chance? No skill involved no steps to take some folks just end up rich and others do not. Thank god and here I thought you have to exploit workers and be smart about that or have to cozy up to some dictator for favors with a good chance that some of your fellows might kill you. Great to here that there is no skill involved in those types of activities. Silly me.
