There are people out there that work as many hours as your average CEO, doing actual physical, back-breaking work, but are also losing wealth.

This is a reductive take that adds nothing to the discussion.

If "work[ing] all the time" was really what differentiated the wealthy from the poor, my 70 year old neighbour working 2 jobs would be a millionaire.

it's not about increasing their worth, it's being the top five already and doubling it.
