The majority of rich came from wealth.

That's simply not true, by the stats. Two-thirds of millionaires and billionaires did not inherit their wealth.

Absolutely correct. And the new wealthy often lose it within two generations because they dont teach the next generation what they did to earn that wealth and cant retain and build on it. Our President is one of the few exceptions. His newly wealthy father made him earn it and he is teaching his kids.
