i dont know if you guys know this but you cant actually become rich today. when andrew carnegie and david rockefeller got rich, they owned companies with massive real world operations, that were legally entitled to a slew of real assets like roads, rails, equipment, vehicles, wells, things like this and their net worth was based on the profit they produced. when you get rich today, you dont actually own anything real and you dont even have to produce profit. basically a bank just comes by and goes oh yeah your business and houses are worth x amount so your net worth is x. your wealth is assigned to you somewhat arbitrarily by a bank. youre not actually rich. a bank just says youre rich. its the financial difference between physically holding gold in your hands and some company somewhere that doesnt even hold physical gold going oh yeah you own a bunch of gold man heres your ticket.
