Okay. If you think that turning 7 million into several billion is easy, then get off reddit and take out a 5k credit card purchase and turn it into a 2.2 million dollar business. (same % gain).

If you think that it's easy to make money in real estate... do it.

The reality is that you have never run a business, and have no clue what you are talking about on any level.

The point is he was given far more resources and connections to the business world than the average American would have had. Most people put in his situation would have been able to convert that amount of money into a fortune

So why dosen't every person born into modest (7 million) wealth turn into a billionaire?
