I understand what you are saying about wealthbuilding and you are correct that those steps will build wealth.
But Epstein would have had to have hundreds of millions of dollars of F*** around money in his pocket before he could even get started on the scheme to hold the world in black mail and he would have so cleaver that no country leader would dare launch an accidental missile to wipe his island off the globe.
That doesn’t make sense, even if was the most genius kind of guy at wealth building.
From what I can see of the billionaire class, most of them were chosen for their willingness to serve powers greater than they. For their souls, they were allowed access to ungodly worldly wealth.
Whether it be Faccebook, Amazon, Microsoft, all the big tech, all of these enterprises had megadollars right from the start, as ideas. That lends credibility to that they were planned because all of them are also useful in shutting people out of society if they don’t comply with the coming world order.
All the billionaires are anti-human, had access to billions of dollars for their companies, they are in control of companies that can shut every one of us out of society. Very few of the billionaires could have made their level of wealth on their own talents.
The question is are the billionaires you described “typical” or are they exceptions.
I do have one ridiculously wealthy relative I talk about from time to time—they may be a billionaire—I don’t have access to their numbers.
In their case they inherited crazy wealth from both of their families.
Interestingly they follow the “millionaire” rules.
They have been married for many decades and have a couple of adult children at this point. They still earn more than they spend—and the man refuses to fully retire even though both he and his wife are more than eighty years old at this point.
They live comfortably but certainly not extravagantly—and you would not know they were super wealthy if you met them.
As for politics—they don’t discuss it—but like most successful people in business they pay bribes aka political contributions to both political parties in their local community.
I would not want to change places with them—because their profile is still higher than I would find acceptable—they do give large donations to charities in their own names—a mistake in my opinion. It has led to media interviews about their giving—I am way too paranoid to ever feel comfortable doing that.
