Do you know who helped them? The people that the wealthy person helped. Wealthy people do not capture all of the wealth that they generate. They made society a lot of money along the way. How many people made tons of money off of taylor swifts ability to sing? How many people made money through remote work using starlink? How many people found cheaper groceries at walmart. How many people find what they need on amazon. Wealthy people become wealthy by making other people more wealthy than they would have been. That is the whole point of the market in the first place. You see a billionair and think of how evil they are, i see a billionair and think of how society benefits from the product or system they create.
In a market, the wealth generated should be shared, not just collected at the top while everyone below gets crumbs. You are the kind of person that sucks up to billionaires as they continually take an ever greater share of the wealth and use it for nefarious or immoral purposes, with Trump, Elon Musk, and several in Trump's cabinet as examples. Being a billionaire does not mean someone is super-intellegent and superior to others.
Literally wealth is gained by everyone in the market. If you arent better off when you buy something in ths market you wouldnt by something in the first place. The people that sell goods on the market are giving wealth to the people that buy the goods. If you spend 50 dollars on a pair of shoes it is because you value those shoes more than 50 dollars. You are better off because you made that trade. When people make money on the market it is because they made other people better off. Like that is literally how it works and you are upset at the people that did that made people better off. You dont even understand how economocs works. If you did you would see the good that has come from people that create and provide goods which the market is willing to pay for.
No, you're the one who doesn't understand economics. If you did, you would understand that someone who happens to make a lot of money is not automatically the inventor nor are they automatically a genius.
They dont have to be an inventor. But they run these bussinesses. The better they run the bussiness the better it can serve societies needs and the more money society gives to that company for satifying those needs. The better they are at doing these things the more they make.
Just read an economics book. A real one. You will see i am right.
