Probably because such people are very hard working and want to grow higher. Unfortunately their kids or grandkids usually spend their money on shit and family becomes poor again.

If you're the big boss man working is fun because you get to order around a bunch of lowly peons every day and feel important. It's not as fun if you're the one being ordered around.

I WAKE up at 4am EVERY day. First thing I do is drink my mushroom based coffee substitute and the I get to GRINDING. I read about FIVE different news streams simultaneously while I heck on muni portfolios. Then I hit my HOME GYM and workout for about 3 hours. AFTER THAT I’m in MEETINGS for about 4 hours and then my DAY really gets STARTED

Depends on how rich you are. People who are unreasonably rich (20mil+) tend to work hard because they don't really care about the value of the money. They just care about getting more. People who are comfortably rich (1-15mil) live in permanent retirement mode.

This.

Great grandfather works hard, builds business from nothing.
Grandfather takes over, keeps business running but does not grow, simply interested in taking profits
Father takes over, has no interest in business, sells it and uses money for lifestyle
Son inherits what's left and spends it on anime figures

This is how it goes.

Dude SAME
I wake up at 3 AM and RAVAGE my WIFE before I go to the GYM and pump like SCHWARZENEGGER then shower ice COLD. I eat RAW protein powder while watching 6 DIFFERENT market news channels. All BEFORE I even brush my teeth. The rest of my day is spent CALCULATING the MARKETS and moving a few BILLION in and OUT of markets.

>Why do we work so hard? For what? For this? For stuff? Other countries they work, stroll home, they stop by the cafe, they take August off. Off. Why aren’t you like that? Why aren’t we like that? Because we’re crazy driven hardworking believers that’s why. Those other countries think we’re nuts. Whatever. Were the Wright brothers insane? Bill Gates? Les Paul? Ali. Were we nuts when we pointed to the moon? That’s right, we went up there and you know what we got? Bored. So we left. We got a car up there and left the keys in it. Do you know why? Because we’re the only ones going back up there that’s why. But I digress. It’s pretty simple: you work hard, you create your own luck, and you gotta believe anything is possible. As for all the stuff, that’s upside of only taking two weeks off in August. N’est-ce pas?

They spend a lot of time developing their business properly but don't spend the time grooming their kids right. It isn't as simple as loving them or providing for them, you have to teach them responsibility, diligence, and humility. That means no spoiling, that means active discipline, that means giving them tasks and jobs and teaching them the worth of a dollar. Then when you finally hand the franchise over to them you don't fuck it up, and it's important.

Almost no man, outside of the very lucky, can surpass a net worth of $15M starting out from zero with no connections, it's his child that will get that big boost and have the opportunity to turn it into $100M, or a billion, but he has to be trained well.

Thats maybe the case for companies, 15M is more than realistic for investment.

You have it backwards. Investments are a slow and steady struggle to that, with literally nothing, yes that's basically your absolute best case scenario. If you start a business, it's riskier, but you have a chance of being a supremely lucky few who blast past that with a lucrative model.

You are going to do something better than serve your fellow man?

When you run an actual productive, free exchange business...a day off hurts the world. This weighs on you to some degree.

I run an online pick and pack, I stock 10k products. Literally. I get closeouts, stock them, send them out the door at half the price anyone else sells them for.
I do a few million in revenue at half the prices of my competition.
If I disappear my customers are out a few million dollars a year collectively.
Some would go out of business and then end up working for globohomo. So would my employees.

Now, if you are a scammer and day trader getting rich and never creating anything or adding any actual value... yea take days off. Please.

Jeff Bezos. But for a less extreme example all you have to do in America to not be permanently poor is graduate high school, don’t have kids before you’re married, and have continued employment. None of those are hard and you won’t be poor your whole life. Pew research shows this.

The second I wake up I am CRUSHING IT. I have automated my entire morning routine so that my ARTISAN SOURDOUGH TOAST is perfectly SOFT while CRUNCHABLE and DRENCHED in marmalade the moment I sprint into the kitchen. I press the alarm that ELECTRIFIES my 10 year old son's IRON bedframe and wakes that little FUCKER up for school in 4 hours. Then I POUND the pedals on my E-BIKE to get to Mr Goldberg's HIGH EARNER hedge fund. I strap the FUCK into my wagie cagie and GRIND for the next 13 hours. Every. Fucking. Second. When I'm done? I'm doing squats and curls while SCREAMING through my bluetooth headset at my HUSTLE partner. Cos if we're gonna make it, we have to EARN it first.

Had to look it up.
I am pretty far below that level and I don't know the story line of how he's presented.
I'm just explaining the "never a day off" mentality. People depend on me
People will lose the business if I fail.
People will have to work at WalMart if I fail.

There is a middle ground and I have modeled my operation around being able to supervise and still keep things moving if I'm not there.
I usually work very early in the morning til early afternoon and then try to have time for other things while I just remain accessible and answer e-mails and such periodically throughout the day.

That's the other thing. A day off just means more work the next day if you are actually in charge and have responsibilities.
Wagies take a day off and the work is the same when they return.
