Better at finding opportunities to make money. Better at eliminating competition see Bill Gates and Microsoft and the DOJ. Some are just born rich and learned how to invest.


I don't think they're better at anything. The power of money to make money and to buy opportunity, time, and mitigate risk is extreme. Being able to take risks and fall back on your family's wealth can enable huge gains when taking high risk chances. See basically every "entrepreneur" like Gates, Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, etc.


Rich people are in the right sectors empowered by globalisation and tech, those are health care, food and education industries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsmwnUPQ3Q8 Bill Gates is working on his version of circular economy, his charities feed into his investments: "The global pharmaceuticals market size is projected to grow from $1585.05 billion in 2022 to $2401.22 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 6.1% in forecast period."


> circular economy

haha that's my first thought when I hear about "charities" by the billionaires in the Anglosphere world... sounds like some tax dodging loophole with huge marketing budget and a website. Why don't they just pay their taxes?
