What's "worth" got to do with anything? Some HAVE more than a million

Oh, there are exceptions, but in the main the wealthy earned their fortunes.



Those that earned their wealth, how much harder than you did they work
to earn that amount?

What does "how hard they work" have to do with anything. A ditch digger works
"harder" than I do, but I make a few times what they do.

Lets say you work 40 hours a week and earn $100,000 per year.

Do you think that on average that some one that makes $1,000,000 per
year has worked 10 times harder than you?

They've at least worked 10x smarter than have I. Someone willingly *gave*
them that money.

For the most part the wealthy beyond need just happened to be in the
right place at the right time, so to speak.

Steve Jobs?

No, they worked to be in the "right place at the right time", often worked to
*make* the right time and place. Because you, and I, didn't is no fault of
theirs.
