    Mostly false, especially if the rich guy started out poor and became rich with hard work. The pay is just shifted into the future, as, for example, startuppers live for years like poor rats and then pay out more later, while normal workers just get paid all the time. All assuming, this also counts in “millionaires”…

      Nonsense. Those ‘startuppers’ usually have rich parents who subsidize the business.

      Trump loves to tell the story about how he was underwater for millions and clawed his way back to the top. While he was in debt he still lived in a mansion.
