Question

LSU Tigers: I ask questions that are outside my area of expertise. Duh.

Answer 1

They have a money tree.. Many rich people get the money tree seeds from other rich people in secret organizations. Like the Free masons. Then they plant one in the back yard, fertilize regularly and you have money out of thin air....

Answer 2

It's called hard work. Stop listening to envious people.

Answer 3

They don't.  Except for the Paris Hilton's of the world, capital tends to flow to the people who can best use it.  Take the world's second richest man, well the man who used to be, he gave the entire fortune to the poor.  Had you bought one share from him for $10 in 1964 you would be worth $135,000 today.  That $10 would produce $8000 a year for you.  That $10 now produces $71,000 in goods and services for the people of the world.  That $10 went to support about a dozen employees, now that $10 supports the salary of 244,000 people.

If a bunch of people gave you $10 apiece could you create 244,000 new jobs in forty years, plus all the jobs that occurred in the middle.  It isn't created out of thin air, they have talents and skills that make other peoples' resources more valuable than had they kept them and used them on their own.  In other words, people seek the best use of their money.  They find such people and literally billions of people are employed because of them.

Being able to muster resources they can manipulate the demand for some product or service which would be territorially unavailable thanks to them whereupon a timely introduction of same creates a "frenzied" rush towards acquiring/consuming that product or service.  

This is made easier for them when the product is something like crude petroleum and is the economic foundation of an entire western trade system----eg OPEC.

Mineral, natural and intellectual resources are integrated into a favorable economic base which when accompanied with the freedom to pursue commercial/development goals and a strong will to succeed usher the success of enterprise !
