Rich people have usually failed in multiple enterprises before discovering a business niche in which they prosper.
They are persistent, imaginative, and brave, not ‘lucky.’
“So, out of jealousy they want to steal the money that would be used to keep them happy. Just another proof that liberalism is a mental disease.”
The central tenet of liberalism - the envy, class warfare, and jealousy underlying their demand for redistribution of other people’ wealth - is not just a mental disease. It’s also a moral failing that God warned us to reject.

17 You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.
Even if I expected to benefit from the Ctrl-Left’s grab for other people’s money, I would reject that strategy. I trust God. He tells me not to envy others, so I refuse to wallow in jealousy. I refuse to profit from government theft of the property of those who have more than I have. It is not my place (or the government’s place) to take the things that are theirs, not even if “we” think we can handle their property better (more fairly, whatever that means, or more efficiently) than they would.
I may have a lot of faults, but jealousy has never been one of them.
I don't understand how people can be this way.
If somebody has more of something than I do, well, good for them!
People need to read the Holy Bible, books by Napoleon Hill, and other such books, quit being jealous of others, and go for it themselves, or if less ambitious or able, be happy with what they have.
