Hey /vip/
I've been wondering about something for a while but I haven't really known where to ask it. You guys seem to be the smartest, most world-aware places on the Internet, so I figure you would be the best at answering this question. I know it's not news itself, but it's related.
How do rich people get so rich? I'm not talking about the Bill Gates-kind of rich measured in net worth from owning a large part of a huge company.
I'm talking about the just rich kind of rich. The people who own mansions in the Northeast, and a few vacation homes, with large staffs of butlers and cooks that cook multi-course, several-hour-long dinners. The kind of people who keep diamonds bigger than a person's head in a safe behind a portrait in the bedroom. The kind of people who get invited to Presidential balls and wear suits and dresses made entirely out of silk. The kind of people whose kids and grandkids will be called "heiresses" and will never have to work a day in their lives.
How do they do it?
