> I'm saying there was equal work involved. The difference between the multi millionaire and the billionaire was luck.

I was responding to this part of the message just to be clear.

But also in addition the difference isnt luck or amount of work, its investment. The poor person likely took bad risks and/or focused on short term easy gains rather than harder long term gains. The billionaire on the other hand spent their time learning, studying, aquiring skills, building networks, saving and sacraficing, all while not making a penny, often over very long periods of time. They start companies that fail and eventually all that time they invested will pay off.

The poor person usually works a 9-5 and may even work more 60 hours, but they do little in investing in themselves to get out of it (usually). Those that do try are irresponsible, usually being cocky without the skills to back it up.

One common pattern is the poor usually despise the rich, so they never both to learn from them (most rich people are eager to take on mentees I find). The people who succeed usually work under someone who has been successful and cares a great deal about learning from them and will often take councel in many business experts in their journey.
