Read a study earlier that stated that the majority of high corporate execs are most likely psychopaths
Not to forget the third category: dumb luck
That’s what’s the original says. It was made back in 2011
Why change it?
Probably because luck actually plays little role in being rich. Without luck those born rich will still be rich. With luck those born poor will still be poor.
It’s the right half! (Dumb people getting rich without head start is incredibly rare)
I agree there should only be two categories, but I think “birth lottery” should be a subset of “dumb luck,” not the other way around.
I cannot think of many dumb people who got rich by themselves. Unless they win the actual lottery instead of the birth lottery
“Dumb luck” doesn’t imply the person is dumb, just that the quality of their decision-making had no bearing on their success. Even geniuses can have dumb luck.
Unless they win the actual lottery
Not only overwhelming most of lotteries winnings, while looking good to us bareass paupers, are pittance compared to wealth of people who are rich, but also people winning lotteries lack the foundations rich need to remains rich (second chart) and usually lose everything pretty fast.
Thing is, you obviously can become reasonably wealthy by following the first chart, if you’re talented and 1 in 10 thousand lucky, whereas the second chart has a significant success rate.
The mega rich are too weak-willed to concede they’ve essentially hit a 1 in 60 million Powerball. Winning the lottery warrants glee, not pride.
Billionaires all exploit the working class—or at the very least they all inherently rely on its occurrence, without exception.
I’d add a third slice to the second pie: steal your way there.

That is expliotation of working class
The „merciless exploitation of the working class” is not how they get rich, but how they keep their wealth. If you’re poor, you can’t really exploit the working class. It’s basically just birth lottery with a really really small section for the people with luck and/or hard work.
If you’re poor, you can’t really exploit the working class.
Tell that to the po-lice
