By this logic, it could have been anyone. How do you account for the fact that people at the top of this list all started their own businesses (or inherited one)?
- AstralStorm 4y agoBoth of those people are to some degree con artists. They take both credit and money as middlemen for running companies. In Musk's case, it's even more visible as every venture he directly managed (and was not managed out of by someone smarter) has failed, yet he has billions of dollars for his quality con. And he used a plenty of unearned means to kickstart his con. Bezos is a bit harder. I would have to look in detail on his earlier history.
