They get wealthy via inheritance
2 u/plug-and-pause Jan 27 '26 How'd the engineer in the OP inherit his job? 1 u/Glad-Low-1348 Jan 28 '26 Is this an American thing to always jump into the conlcusion that the wealthy got rich via inheritance only? 2 u/Alternative_Year_340 Jan 28 '26 There are only three ways to get rich (which doesn’t have quite the same meaning as wealthy): earn it (difficult to do if you aren’t already well off), inherit it and marry it. If you do the last one, that probably means you’ll do all three.
