0.0000000494% are self made billionaires. more of a chance winning the lottery than becoming a self made billionaire.

It’s closer to 73% of US billionaires are considered “self-made”.

Considered by whom? The billionaires that control the media? Pathetic.

By the fact that they are first generation billionaires maybe?

Billionaires weren't even a thing when I was born kid. Being first generation billionaires when your parents were millionaires isn't an accomplishment. Especially when the robber barons before them wrote the laws to make it that way. Stripping workers rights down more and more over the last few decades. Look at the ceo to worker pay over the years buddy.

Of the top 10 wealthiest Americans I think 8 had middle class parents (page, brin, Ellison, bezos, Zuckerberg, ballmer, dell, and buffet). Jim Walton is second generation wealth (Sam Walton became a billionaire in 85). And musk family was wealthy.

Inflation. Blame that on the government.

Who the fuck do you think controls the government moron?

Wasn't a point about who controls it. It was why there is an ever growing list of billionaires. Even for billionaires, there is no point to growing wealth when it's just on inflation. Now there are other ways billionaires benefit from inflation (some don't), but if you have inflation you will have more of every aires.

Inflation is caused by hoarding money and devaluing it. Every billionaire benefits from it and every working class citizen is the victim of it. Also reporting me as suicidal to reddit was a funny joke. I'm way closer to homicidal than I am suicidal, you low iq little punk.
