You assume they got to where they were with "simple" means. That doesn't happen unless you're 1) old and 2) have been investing safely for a long period of time.

If they got there younger, that's either 1) born to rich parents or 2) risky ass dumb regarded plays that worked out somehow

So it's quite regardedly complicated to be fair.

Or maybe they got a really good job (some tech industry roles pay salaries around $1 mil/year) and saved aggressively? It’s not always rich parents or dumb luck.
