That's why I'm so glad the press keeps asking why Chelsea Clinton is being paid six figures to be a "consultant" for a New York firm while trotting the globe with her boyfriend./sarcasm
I'm sorry, but "connected" people are always going to have an edge. Who cares? As long as no laws are being broken, I'm not about to start ripping people for being rich. Also, there is nothing novel about getting rich in an industry that you know relatively little about. It's quite common.
You're right--it's called the stock market.
