So long, old money.
This year, self-made fortunes hit a record share of billionaire wealth.
Good news?
Not for me.
Back when billionaires were corrupt bastards born into old money, I had the perfect excuse not to be one.
I'm not a corrupt bastard, let alone born into old money.
No point in even trying to become a billionaire.
But now,
you don’t need political connections anymore, you don't need to inherit great fortunes.
Anyone can become a billionaire.
Even good people!
So, no more excuses my friends.
If I'm not a billionaire, it’s my own fault.
I should have worked harder instead of scrolling through another TikTok video.
Happy Friday, future billionaires!
