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.

There are how many people on that list, and you’re picking one of them? What about Gates, who was the top four a long time? Dell? Buffet?
You have a preconceived notion, and you’re sticking to it, regardless of data.
Gates is a predatory businessman who built an empire on the backs of others. Buffet is a dragon who refuses to invest in progress (https://www.bankrate.com/investing/warren-buffett-stocks-berkshire-hathaway-portfolio-13f-filing/) and Dell made it on the back of shitty business practices.
