It appears that there are plenty of dumb **** that post on X.

Reality check:

No, not all billionaires are connected to the technology industry. While a significant and growing number of the world's wealthiest individuals have built their fortunes through tech, many others have amassed billions in traditional industries like finance, real estate, manufacturing, and fashion. 

Here is a breakdown of the sources of billionaire wealth:

Technology Dominance: Technology is a leading sector for producing new billionaires, driven by AI, software, and digital platforms. As of late 2025, tech is the second-most common sector for billionaires, with over 400 identified globally.

Finance & Investments: Contrary to popular belief, finance and investments often produce more billionaires than technology. According to 2025 data, roughly 464 billionaires made their money in this sector.

Diverse Industries: Many billionaires operate outside the tech sphere. Major sources of non-tech wealth include:Finance/Banking/Investments: (e.g., Warren Buffett)Real Estate: (e.g., property developers)Fashion & Retail: (e.g., Bernard Arnault of LVMH)Manufacturing & Commodities: (e.g., oil, mining)

Inheritance: Many fortunes are passed down through generations.

 Key Takeaways on Billionaire Wealth:While tech billionaires often have higher net worths on average, they are not the only, or even the most common, type of billionaire.The top 10 richest people in the world are heavily concentrated in tech (e.g., Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison), but this does not represent the entire population of over 2,000+ global billionaires.

Data shows that in the U.S., while tech is a major driver, the highest concentration of super-rich individuals actually comes from banking and finance. In summary, while technology is currently a massive driver of wealth creation, it is not the exclusive path to becoming a billionaire.
I wouldn't want to be a billionaire...you have to undergo all sorts of Satanic Rituals...just ask the consort Jeffrey Epstein...

:rofl:   :rofl:  

Finance bros is all about the connections...Larry Fink, a J00, lost over $100M of his clients' money in the 1980s betting the wrong way on interest rates...yet somehow is the CEO of BlackRock.

Anyone not <<< chosen >>> would have 100% been assassinated for sure if they lost that much money...even losing $1M of your current NW would likely put your head on the pike (courtesy of your wife)  :clap:
