The comments are not bemoaning the guy, they are bemoaning the article that implies the way to build wealth is with good habits.

The guy didn’t write the article, he lived a long life and donated a lot of money to charity after his death. I’m sure he’d be the first to say that he was lucky to have inherited so much wealth.

That’s true. I should be more fair. My comment is a bit out of frustration at maybe one or two other comments.

While the criticism against “good habits build wealth” is legit when it leaves out the inheritance fact, i think I was just annoyed that the focus was on that rather than what was a good use of an inheritance.
