@icedquinn someone clearly didnt read the report. It has quite a bit of detail beyond a single bucket or one pivot... advice: read sources before criticizing sources.

@icedquinn You mean teh quote that was irrelevant to the part being discussed? Yea I remember that. You also werent quoting the report, you quoted a website that talked about the report. The actual report is 30 pages and includes 6 different wealth tiers, to which you proclaimed (incorrectly) it was all one bucket.

@icedquinn Right and of those 4 both Gates and Zuck are self made by any definition (in both cases they didnt start off rich and had to build a company and get investment to succeed). In the case of bezos it really depends on if you count 300K as rich. At best you can say he was at the upper end of middle class, certainly not rich or even a multi-millionair, and he too got investment from richer people after working hard to create a business plan and convince investors.

It seems his whole point (which is laughable) is that if you get your money because someone invests in a startup you are running that you are somehow not "self-made". Elon is the only one you can legitimately say out of the top 4 isnt self-made and had money handed to him without needing a working company first.

@icedquinn I like you personally so dont take this the wrong way. But you have a very annoying habit of glancing at sources, not bothering to read them, finding an out of context quote that incorrectly supports your assumption, sharing it and then ignoring the conversations when people point out your error.

Like I said, you really need to start reading things and not assuming your preconceptions are fact before commenting more.
