As someone who did literally everything a capitalist system tells you to do in order to become successful - worked extremely hard in school, went to medical school, paid off all my loans, invested my money, I have one thing to say:

There is literally no way to get ahead unless you are either extremely lucky or you are born into wealth.

I dont know about extremely lucky but Ive built my wealth by being better than my opponents and I started from nothing, luck does play a role but skills are certainly more valueable

Im far from billionaire though but I feel like Im quite ahead, there are lots of opportunities to make money, having a concentional job with a salary is the most inefficient way

that said I think people like bezos are on the luckiest end of the bell curve
