Imagine being the heir of one of the families in that lawsuit.

“You’re independently wealthy and don’t need to work? What do your folks do, anyway?”

“My grandma was blown up by the military but we checked a box that said that wasn’t allowed.”

That's probably the only morally correct way to become millionaire.

There are lots and lots of ways to ethically become a millionaire. It’s billionaires who shouldn’t exist, not millionaires.

My old boss does contract work that is essentially optimizing cleaning schedules for industrial cleaning and clears 10k a minimum per contract.

Have a skill very few people have. A million dollars isnt as much as it used to be.

Smart investing, owning appreciating assets like a house, having high demand high paying skills. I’m not saying anyone can do it, but it’s absolutely achievable without stepping on someone else’s necks.

Many homeowners in major cities are millionaires.

My grandmother is a millionaire and she (and her late husband/my grandfather) did it working the same normal 9-5 everyone else did and earning the same lower-middle/low class wage everyone else did. A million dollars isn’t a lot if you’re from a big city. She’s low class now—no money but the house and social security.

It’s hundred millionaires people debate about. Not millionaires. Million dollar houses are fairly common for middle/low-middle class families in major cities.
