generally speaking success is a result of favorable conditions that allowed one the opportunity to work really hard at a skill for no pay and become very, very good at it
it's a different kind of hard work, because generally it's a delayed reward.
i think most people work hard. rich people were able to use their labor as a long term investment, rather than an immediate transaction. that may have been due to having a background that was already well-to-do, or simply because the skill they were developing was not yet well-known and it was easy for them to spend a lot of time on it.
generally compensation differences happen because of replaceability, not because of 'how hard you worked'. so for once the evil pointy haired boss was right: work smarter, not harder
Some do and some don't. There's low-paid "unskilled" work that's still backbreaking.
Among the rich I've found new money tends to work harder than old money
in my experience at least
For rich people not born into affluence, it takes massive amounts of hard work, knowing the right people to give you a leg up, and insane luck. Also often years of impoverishment because to get rich requires either going to university, and therefore needing to take out thousands upon thousands in loans; or, starting your own business, which also requires thousands in loans.
For the most part, the more money you make, the less actual work you do.

Yes, how do you think they get rich?

Physical work maybe. But as they say, I can do the janitors job but the janitor can't do mine.

Rich people are often just people who start life rich and live on easy mode forever, thinking that anyone can do it because it was ready for them.
