There’s a meme floating around on Facebook showing like 5 or 6 of the U.S.’s top businessmen, and how much money they got from their parents when they were starting out. Includes Bezos, Musk and Trump.
Wanna make a small fortune? Start with a large fortune, pay too much for a business you don’t understand, and then run it into the ground. Foolproof! (Just look at the current roster of fools.)
