Jeff Bezos
>Bezos is the maternal grandson of Lawrence Preston Gise, a regional director of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) in Albuquerque.[10] Gise retired early to his family's ranch near Cotulla, Texas, where Bezos would spend many summers in his youth.[8] Bezos would later purchase this ranch, and grow it from 25,000 acres (101 km2; 39 sq mi) to 300,000 acres
>After Bezos graduated from Princeton in 1987, he was offered jobs at Intel, Bell Labs, and Andersen Consulting, among others.
He was never going to be poor. His family had a 25k acre ranch, they were loaded, he went to Princeton.

Bill Gates
>His father was a prominent lawyer, and his mother served on the board of directors for First Interstate BancSystem and the United Way. Gates' maternal grandfather was J.W. Maxwell, a national bank president
>Million dollar trust fund
>At 13, he enrolled in the Lakeside School, a private preparatory school
>Her (Gates mother) tenure on the national board's executive committee is believed to have helped Microsoft, based in Seattle, at a crucial time. In 1980, she discussed her son's company with John Opel, a fellow committee member and the chairman of International Business Machines Corporation (IBM). Opel, by some accounts, mentioned Mrs. Gates to other IBM executives. A few weeks later, IBM took a chance by hiring Microsoft, then a small software firm, to develop an operating system for its first personal computer.
His mother sat in on board meetings with IBM which is what gave Gates the idea of an OS

Donald Drumpf
>His parents were Frederick Christ Trump, a real estate developer
>Trump's paternal grandfather, Frederick Trump amassed a fortune operating boomtown restaurants and boarding houses in the Seattle area and the Klondike region of Canada during its gold rush.[2
>Trump's father Fred was born in 1905 in the Bronx. Fred started working with his mother in real estate when he was 15, shortly after his father's death. Fred eventually built and sold thousands of houses, barracks, and apartments.
>It was at his father's real estate company that Trump got his start in business. In 1971, he took control of his father's apartment rental company, Elizabeth Trump & Son Co., and later on, he renamed it The Trump Organization
>an investigation shows that by age 3, Donald Trump was earning $200,000 a year in today’s dollars from his father’s empire. He was a millionaire by age 8. By the time he was 17, his father had given him part ownership of a 52-unit apartment building. Soon after he graduated from college, he was receiving the equivalent of $1 million a year from his father. The money increased with the years, to more than $5 million annually in his 40s and 50s.

>After graduation, Arnault joined his father's company, in 1971. In 1976, he convinced his father to liquidate the construction division of the company for 40 million French francs and to change the focus of the company to real estate. Using the name Férinel, the new company developed a specialty in holiday accommodation. Named the Director of Company Development in 1974, he became the CEO in 1977. In 1979, he succeeded his father as president of the company.
Too bad we can't all just pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and get our dad to appoint us CEO

you seem awfully triggered by this thread

Welcome to the real blackpill op
Ryder Walker
>He grew up in the suburb of Mount Lebanon, in a Jewish "working-class" family. His paternal grandfather changed the family name from "Chabenisky" to "Cuban" after his family emigrated from Russia through Ellis Island. His maternal grandparents, who were also Jewish, came from Romania. Cuban's first step into the business world occurred at age 12, when he sold garbage bags to pay for a pair of expensive basketball shoes. At age 16, Cuban took advantage of a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette strike by running newspapers from Cleveland to Pittsburgh.
So basically he was a scab kike opportunist who used his bar mitzvah money to steal from goyim. lol

ARE YOU WORKING FOR 20 DOLLARS AN HOUR?
DON'T WORRY IF YOU CAN'T SURVIVE ON THAT LOW WAGE. JUST PULL YOURSELF UP BY YOUR BOOTSTRAP'S AND YOU'LL BE OKAY

Oprah is an example of being at the right place at the right time. America was ready for a "cool [clean, well spoken] black friend." Eddie Murphy and Oprah were major entrepreneurs in that area.
Tyler Edwards
>you cant work hard and achieve something
Never going to make it.
Colton Bennett
How come every white guy who made it big always has Jewish ancestors?
Ryder Hernandez
Upper middle class is the best you can hope for barring extreme luck, like winning the lotto, or buying some internet shit coin that moons to $20k a pop.
Even if you make a networth in the 10 million range, you will still need a fairly conservative budget if you have a family.
Connor Thomas
Jews aren't shy about helping family like cathcucks (seriously of all "white" amerifats [insert euro ethnicity here]-catholics are the biggest fucking prude cucks when it comes to nepotism) and protestants (excluding WASPs of course.)
Zachary Wilson
What if you come from an educated linage of people who are millionaires?
Jason Watson
Not only Jewish, often times Russian Jews. Really makes u think
Jace Rogers
Then the likelihood that you will also be rich is extremely high as long as you don't become a crackhead (pretty basic stuff)
Parker Collins
Well russians are better than chinks for business.

The rise people like this has nothing to do within merit and is entirely explained by this process . bloodyshovel.wordpress.com
Tldr version elites are building a coalition of the fringes that values loyalty above merit against the competent white man . People like here are a means to achieve this .

Lmao, im not desperate to get rich quick you queer.
Have fun crying about how poor youre always going to be becuase of muh joos and muh fate you pathetic fuck.

It's not "le being poor" and working at McDonalds in the classical sense that you're thinking of, you're just never going to not have to work,
Connor Moore

Tldr version elites are building a coalition of the fringes that values loyalty above merit against the competent white man . The elevation of people like her are a means towards that end .

Maybe i won't be a billionaire, but if i work hard enough, I can make sure my children have a better chance.

there may be truth to what he is saying. she used to do shows similar to Jerry Springer, as did many others. why was she specifically chosen?
Justin Wilson
>You can only be super rich or super poor. There's absolutely nothing in between.
>Because you can't become super rich and be part of the 1%, you have justifcation for being a NEET and communist.
Connor Williams
So "rags to riches takes" 1 generation and "riches to super-riches" 2 generations. It is still possible.
William Ward
I'm not a communist, I just believe there should be some oversight/regulation to these mega billionaires. Particularly over their influence in politics.
Aiden Gray
The point is that status in any hierarchy is primarily due to the patronage of elites , the elites in our civilisation choose to bestow this patronage on the purveyors of trash tv shows rather that quality artforms for the reasons listed above , jerry springer is no different in this regard .if they actually wanted a positive role model for blacks someone like thomas sowelll would be elevated instead . These celebrity types are selected for their loyalty , willingness to promote progressive dogma , complete lack of moral principles and superficial charisma , if you want call that merit go ahead .
Robert Cox
OP is based
Zachary Foster
except that's not true, you fucking retard.
Grayson Flores
the only reason why rags to riches stories even exist is so that kikes can more easily convince goyim to slave away their whole lives in hopes of a fruitless pursuit. for every such success, there are millions of failures that you will never hear about.
Bentley Gray
U know there are trusts out there holding trillions in assets right? Ignorant goy
Camden Lee
Your post doesn't make sense. None of the rags to riches stories mention people slaving away under bosses for the rest of their lives and becoming rich. All of those people quit (or got fired from) their jobs and struck out on their own. Business failure rates are well publicized.
Justin Rodriguez
No one ever says youll get rich flipping McBurgers you tard.
Hudson Hughes
This is what this guy is implying
Alexander Gray
Then do something about it faggot
Ayden Walker
Cmon OP just watch Hamilton the musical, you’ll change your mind about the great intersectional American dream! THE SON OF AN ORPHAN!......
But for real though, I cannot be happier about the corporate debt bubble popping soon. populists of the world unite.

Isaac White
People love excuses. Nothing like avoiding personal responsibility.
Elijah Brown
There is a consistent pattern with most all the examples here , either they had pre existing connections to elites or they were elevated by a faction of elites as a part of a social or political strategy they were undertaking . The American dream is a myth and the classical liberal world view that it represents is a very poor model of reality . The detailed historical argument for why this is is here .
