Would love to but I'm afraid you grossly misunderstand how the power law distribution works. Unfortunately the billionaires are running away from us exponentially faster than we are catching up.

Speaking as someone who will almost certainly become a multi millionaire in the next decade or two. (even if I stop adding more savings manually)

But crucially this only happens if there _isnt_ a big revolution in USA. If there is, I'm fucked.

Why does that matter? Who is trying to catch up with a billionaire? They are not even playing the same game as the rest of us.
