    Often enough. Ask Mark Zuckerburg.

    Is he one of the BAD guys then DB? Did he get where he is using unsavory unethical methods? What about Bill Gates? Is he an upfront okay guy or the opposite? Thank you for your reply and Happy Wednesday to thee! :)

    Zuckerburg‘s wealth is largely the result of a fluke. He didn’t have to work very hard for it at all, especially when one considers the size and impact of his success.
    Personally, I don’t consider either him or Gates ’bad guys’, though MZ has been said to be a bit of a lousy neighbor out in Hawaii. Both billionaires give massively to charitable causes, and both seem to keep their lives outside of the negative limelight, unlike other billionaires we might mention.  This post was edited by Don Barzini at August 29, 2018 5:08 AM MDT

    Thank you for your reply DB. I saw the movie about him and in it he was portrayed as someone who wan't very honorable. I wonder if that plays any part in being hugely successful? I'm gonna ask. :)

    Can be both.  But for many of us has been just a matter of working along and taking it seriously and eventually we became successful.
