I do not understand what the problem is with Minte taking over and running a business he didn't start himself? I'd be proud to take over a family business and see it flourishing, wouldn't you? He's not being anything other than genuine when posting pics of his business headquarters, he's proud of it and you would be the same if it were you. Unlike 99.9% of people here he can actually back what he says up, and never makes a show of it.

Well said.
Imagine if you were the most hardworking man who would start working at your fathers company and eventually take it over you would still be called only the one who "worked". Even if you were the most hard working person in the entire company you would still be called the one who "worked". Just because your father had the company.
Conflicting logic.

Better explain why do you automatically assume that everyone who inherited the business did not work hard since the beginning? Your logic is flawed on this.

For sure.

If my family owned a small convenience store that I eventually took over then took from being 1 small store to a statewide chain of stores that is still a very impressive accomplishment.

Now compare that to the notion of having no need to ever make money.

It's an entirely different way of life. You think in terms of having a million and wanting three million. Having three million and wanting 17 million. When you start with 300 million in tax free investments you don't have to think about getting to 500 million. When you have 2 billion, 10 billion doesn't buy you anything 2 billion couldn't. With generational wealth it's points not dollars.

You put my name in it.. And officially I was not born rich, not even close. I can set up and run presses..I can TIG weld expertly and after college I took a tool & die apprenticeship and I know my way around a shop.

QUOTE]

I run a business that my father and I started together. He retired in the mid 80's and passed away in the late 90's.

I have answered you this before in detail. You won't forget again, right?

Our resin supplier and their CFO was here this afternoon.
I was busy.

And as far as being oddly quiet. If you have friends that have done well, ask them this question sometime. What is harder. making a fortune or keeping it?

Wow that is awesome. You are a good man. How much is each meal?

Far-L and his brother are from a rich family, every article written about Homegrown mentions some famous elite private school they went to.

And weirdly, somebody told me a long time ago that XXXJay comes from a very wealthy family.

I'm from a middle to upper middle - depends on what the definition of upper middle class is.
