How can you be worth $30m but not have accomplished anything?

Edit: I'm dumb, this isn't what 30 under 30 means.




Have rich deceased parents.


Any advice on how to do that? I mean, my parents are alive so I'll need to wait (or something) but they don't have any money to speak of. I could try to make that much and then give it to them, but it seems needlessly complex given the end goal. How does one go about getting rich parents? Asking for a friend.


I would hope journalists do a bit more research than "you were born with $29,999,995 to your name and you have since earned $5 in your time alive. Welcome to the club!"


One would hope so. But they often don't, especially when the goal is clicks.


No this is great. Forbes should change their benchmark

This made me laugh out loud, thanks :)
