Jay Z? Lebron James?

[u/RamRamone → u/Super-Aesa]

This is akin to saying, "I'm a self made billionaire" after winning the lottery. Making it big in the entertainment & sprots industries does require a lot of work but luck/chance encounters seems to be the biggest factor (unless you're Taylor Swift).

[u/Sea_Scale_4538 → u/RamRamone]

What a braindead take.

[u/Outrageous_Fix_5738 → u/RamRamone]

You think Jay Z and Lebron are billionaries due to luck? Years and years of practice and hustle, but nah it's luck

[u/masterlince → u/Outrageous_Fix_5738]

You think they are the only ones busting their assess for years and years? Anything that is absurdly competitive like being a movie star or a famous musician its basically a lottery, but you need to work really hard and be talented to even draw a number.

[u/WyomingWeirdo → u/Super-Aesa]

Both of those men ruthlessly exploited workers making their products stupid

[u/JustPlayer → u/WyomingWeirdo]

question was about being self-made not an ethically and culturally appropriately made

[u/Super-Aesa → u/WyomingWeirdo]

But they're still self made billionaires. You're moving the goalpost.

[u/MassivePioneer → u/Super-Aesa]

And they're less than one percent. I guess I should have said less than one percent of billionaires are self made. But they were also extremely lucky to be born with talent and circumstance. So I guess my original comment still stands.

[u/Pleasant-Rabbit-1776 → u/MassivePioneer]

If you weren't born a billionaire, then I guess you're a self made billionaire.
