Lots of self made billionaires on this here particular list.

Know its clickbait but so what. Its interesting to see the lack of "self made" people that comprised the list.

its the best kind of wealth

the worst kind of inherited wealth is inheriting it from your spouses family. Still, I'd take being a kept man over being a working stiff who will die at his desk, which is likely my fate

Do you know how hard it is for a woman to become a "self-made" billionaire? Look at how The Patriarchy tore down Elizabeth Holmes. If she were a man she would probably be elected president.

I assume you watched 60 Minutes yesterday.

I had never noticed before but that woman was a fraud even on the looks side. She looks good in still photos where she is able to control the angle but when filmed she has the oddest facial structure below the cheekbone. She looks a lot like Ebert after his surgery. I also had never heard her talk. She had an oddly husky voice.

No, I didn't see it. I assume 60 Minutes did a Theranos story?

Of course most young billionaires inherited it. It takes a while to make a billion dollars so the youngest ones likely inherited it.

Even the wealth of those on the list that are older is inherited.

It never hurts to start with a cushion. I don't frown on it but I role my eyes when they get on their high horse.

There are many who did it themselves too.

Inherited Wealth sounds like a Hazardous Youth song title.
