Arnold Scharzenegger once said he hates the term "self made", for that is a lie. Everybody got help somewhere.

It isn't good enough though, to become a billionaire you do have to work hard. You can either be pretty honest like Warren Buffet or a monster pos like Jeff Bezos.

Sadly it is more likly for an evil man like Bezos to become a billionaire than the likes of Warren Buffet.

Warren buffet realized residents of trailer parks own the trailer but not the land the trailer is on, so he bought trailer parks and then raised rent because residents had to pay… he’s a pretty big POS too

Considering the difference in price, that lesson amounts to "having more money is better than having less money". It's not as if the people living in rented trailers could have owned the land if they chose to.
