@matiu_bidule We call that cherry picking. To be clear the majority of rich people in the USA started from middle class or lower.
Wrong
68% of billionaires are self-made (not born into inheritance)
> The market research firm analyzed the state of the world’s ultra-wealthy population — or those with a net worth of $30 million or more.
yea there's more people with 'just' millions than there are billionaires, so. also the meme didn't claim they were born in to billions but what they did inherit were extremely powerful connections.
How does that quote debunk the fact that the same report indicates 68% of billionairs are self made? They also analyzed other categories of wealth, so what?
@freemo
You are aware that someone with 30mil in the bank is a measly 3% of a billionaire, right?
Or to answer your question: Because the report defines the ultra-wealthy as someone with 30mil or more, which isn't the same as a billionaire, as @icedquinn originally said.
@matiu_bidule
Cool story bro. Try reading the report, it doesnt say that.
The report has 6 buckets it analyzes. One, the lowest is the 30mil threshold, the top is the 1 bil+ bucket. Yes the report explicitly covers billionaires along side other categories of wealth.
Like i said, if you want to criticize something, read first, talk second.
