There's not giving enough credit, and then just wrong statements.

So he had 2M going into his deal that netted him $300M plus.

LOL. $2 million, net of taxes is a whole lot more than zero.

I think the key phrase is “make a fortune” vs “have a fortune”.

But we are talking about someone who made their own fortune, inheriting it

True.. I guess I don’t buy into the fact that someone like Ryan Smith risked

Most rich people take pretty big risks. Others take lots of risk and miss.

To me it’s the career path they choose. Did Ryan Smith take a huge risk
