    You can’t move up that high financially and be a honest person. Some people do get lucky by having a great idea or business model at the right time. What keeps them there is they can look around at others struggling and justify “I deserve this more.” Than continue to exploit as much as they can to keep it.

      I can think of one guy who deserves to be a billionaire and it’s the guy who invented a commercially viable blue LED.

      But he’s not.

      Because billionaires robbed him.

      i think notch is the epitome of “getting lucky”. He made a game he loved, MS bought it for billions and now he’s sitting pretty doing whatever the fuck he wants.
