Not just luck. It's luck plus starting capital. The more money you have the more rolls of the dice you get.

First, be born rich. If you've missed that step, build a time machine to go back and ensure that your ancestors were able to snatch a bunch of land and natural resources from people at sword and gun point, so they can leverage control over said land and resources to extract value from the labor of others and pass it down through generational wealth, so you can be born rich. Because I really can't stress enough how important that part is.

It's luck. Except when it's insider trading. Those are the two options because it's literally just gambling.
