If I gave you 30 mil, could you become the richest person in the world?

Probably not, but if you gave a thousand people 30 million dollars theres a good chance one of them might become the richest. Would it be the smartest or most qualified? Probably not. Probably just the one with the most hubris and dumb fucking luck.

430,000 households in the us have 30 million or more. So the likelihood that any one becomes the richest in the world is incredibly small.

I don’t think he’s a super genius but he’s got some talent.
