    Do you have a list of rich people who are only rich because their parents are rich and which ones did it on their own?

    They certainly gave him a good start.

    But he's rich because he sold Zip2 to Compaq for $300 million in 1999.

    And sold PayPal to eBay for $180 million.

    And founded Tesla. And Space X. And Solar City.

    C'mon man.

    He didn’t start TESLA. He bought the company.

    So billionaires become billionaires because they’ve worked for it?

    None of them worked for it? Did their parents? grandparents?

    So even if you’re born on third, getting across the plate is still an accomplishment?

    So you're not gonna answer the question. Guess there's no list. All rich people were born rich. Sounds good.

    MyPillow won’t mind. Neither will Fox News or other Trumpist entities.
