I suppose I am a typical "rich" American. How did I get here? Let's see...
Inheritance = 0
Passive income = 0
I've been broke and homeless, but followed that up with a 30 year string of 80 hour work weeks. It's a pretty simple formula really.
I think that you mistakenly assume that most of us "rich guys" make our money from an inherited portfolio. I don't believe that's the case. When poorly motivated people inherit wealth, they generally squander it. Most of the "fat cats" I know work their asses off. Really.
