    That most are workaholics. I do not agree with that. Like the general premise of the comment you posted is what I disagree with I guess?

      Oh, well, that’s pretty well documented. Most of those guys started companies and worked giant amounts of time.

        I mean, literally the first person listed is Elon Musk. If you think he’s a hard worker who only got there through grinding then I have a bridge to sell you.

          You’re going to take a single counter example and throw out everything else? I also mentioned there are different types, and some are like Christy Walton, who haven’t worked at all. But neither of those examples means that there aren’t a bunch of workaholics on the list.

          Look, at least most of us agree that the wealth inequality is grotesque, but I’m not sure why you have a hard time with the concept that a lot of people get rich by focusing on making money and working very hard at it. I have a hard time with the concept of a CEO making orders of magnitude more than the average worker’s salary, but that doesn’t mean they don’t work a lot.

            Ah yes, a single counter example, also the person who leads the list. And I disagree, having people do presentations and going “ah yes, very good” isn’t a fucking job. These people don’t work.
