  1. Self-made billionaire is such a crazy term which really should be translated as this, someone that's made billions by exploiting others, whether that is the workers under him or the consumers. It's not really possible to earn that kind of money by hard work alone, but if you've got an army of workers slaving away under you for peanuts whiles he profits the most from it or overcharges consumers, you get a real sense of how wrong the system is. But the question is, how much by honest means without exploiting others could someone realistically earn in a lifetime?, I'll probably say around 5 to 10 million in a good job and that's over like 60 years of your life. In the end, capitalism allows the exploitation of workers by paying them just enough to get by whiles the ones running the show runs away with most of the profits and in a sense, they are more or less criminals but the law allows so it's alright lol. Anyway, I'll give you an idea of what I mean, my friend works at a watch repair shop, there's about 4 people working there including the one that owns it, it makes around 10 grand a week, the wages the workers get is just a bit higher than minimum wage even thought the workers are the ones doing most of the hard work, whiles the boss is a so-called self-made millionaire and that might be true but it's because of exploiting the workers, getting them to do all the hard work whiles the one that owns the company keeps most of the money, that's the real flaw with capitalism. But what really makes it bad is when they say a honest days work for a honest days pay, that's crap talk which will either keep you poor or just content in life, the sad truth is, being corrupt pays a lot better, whether that be money, politics or anything, it pays a lot more, lies in politics usually gets you to a higher more powerful position and so on but what really makes it sad is that it's the peoples fault for allowing all this.
