Not so fast! Isn't the price of comics already down 400%? No, wait. That's eggs. But still. With a very stable, endearingly realistic genius in charge, and with tariffs working wonders, happy days are here again, right?

"Mom sat on the same board as the CEO of IBM and convinced him to take a risk on her son's new company" Gates
"Started Amazon with $300,000 in seed capital from his parents and more from some rich friends" Bezos
"The son of a powerful congressman who owned an investment company" Buffett
"Dad owned an emerald mine in apartheid South Africa" Musk

I suspect within the $Billionaire population, the nouveau riche are a minority. Tiger Woods, & Taylor Swift come to mind.

Clearly $wealth distribution through our society may not seem to be utilitarian. Anyone got a better method?
 
Somebody I used to train with in the university weightroom - came to Canada with his first year tuition paid and $7 in his pocket - now a billionaire.

Woody Allen acknowledged if he'd been born into an aboriginal American tribe before Columbus was born, he would not have prospered the way he has.
I've wondered what genius born in the 6th Century described things so beyond the comprehension of his associates that they dismissed him as a imbecile. What would they have thought of Einstein?

Human culture makes possible (airliners, smartphones) what would otherwise seem purely ridiculous. And these modern miracles exist because of division of labor.
And we can't have division of labor on this scale without $money. Thus: "Money makes the world go 'round."

You may be the lucky one S2.
Studies have shown $jackpot $lottery winners undergo a joy reset that is alarmingly brief.
The newly $multi-$millioned very quickly adjust, and then settle back into their pre-wealth mood.
