Pay attention to these steps to understand how rich, dumb, people make money and why you are wrong:
1. Google search "recruiting companies".
2. Look at glassdoor reviews for the ones you find from 1.
3. Select a local one that has very high ratings.
4. Call them, tell them you need someone to help you invest your money.
5. The recruiting company tells you to sign documents and walks you through literally every single step. Including how to pay them.
6. They find someone. You talk to them, they seem like they are smart, the recruiting company says they have a stellar resume, had great references, and are a perfect fit.
7. You hire them. The recruiting company takes care of all the HR stuff including paying the person. You just have to let all that paperwork you signed take care of all the business. All of it.
8. Your investment adviser puts together several investment portfolios for you. Presents the prospects. And you select the one you like the most just because it sounds cool. But you're literally too dumb to understand any of it.
9. Bam, you get an ROI after 2 years because your adviser was good at their job. Oh, and your employee base expands and your adviser becomes your COO.
How much of this gets credited to the person born into the money? Here's what the rich person had to do: know how to read and know how to use the internet decently enough to understand reviews.
