. I detest Mitt Romney but he did not inherit the majority of his wealth. While George Romney was indeed his father, Mitt Romney was involved in Bain Capital which specialized in the streamlining (break-up) of companies into more profitable entities. He turned around Staples. That's where most of his wealth comes from.

He is easily confused with Donald Trump, because Donald Trump, who did inherit tens of millions, is also a liberal-turned-conservative politician.

He’s a highly accomplished businessman. “Indeed, during the 14 years Romney headed the company, Bain Capital’s average annual internal rate of return on realized investments was 113 percent.” Wikipedia.

Romney is a principal in an investment firm. He makes money the old-fashioned way--use OPM and take the profits.
