I believe the same applies in our country. Name a billionaire, and there is very likely to be government support behind.
So why should governments create a few very wealthy people who have to do philanthropy - in many cases a form of misanthropy - instead of redistributing wealth to as many people as possible?
In Russia they are called "Oligarchs". I personally have positioned myself to be a Uhuru Kenyatta millionaire going by recent happenings
Hence corruption. The billionaire class appears to be founded on deception by government. In fact the creation of a billionaire elite may be viewed as subversion of democracy. It may be reasonable to say that governments that support the billionaire class are illegitimate.
Not necessarily so. Sometimes "outsiders" can follow the money quietly and end up being millionaires if not billionaires.In the Sociology of science parlance, it is called
Matthews Effect.
It might be difficult for ordinary folks like you and me to join the billionaires boys club, however, by merely observing the moves the billionaires are taking can make you a fortune. I said it here before that we shall soon be reading about how James Mwangi,Jimnah Mbaru,James Mworia,the Ndegwa brothers, the current first family, Baloobhai Patel and many more billionaires have made fortunes once
the artificial and highly rigged economic hard times
abruptly come to an end.
The questions all Wazuans aspiring to be millionaires should be asking themselves is:
Where is James Mwangi heavily invested, or what investment moves is James Ndegwa making today(November 2019)? Once you have found out that Baloobhai Patel has increased his stake in a Kenyatta/Ndegwa majority owned bank which also curiously controls Mshwari and Stawi mobile apps and has lent heavily to GoK at 13% for the longterm, then you should do whatever it takes to purchase as much stake as you can in this bank and wait for the day business daily and other newspapers will start gossiping about how President Uhuru brother has made billions of paper wealth by a fractional increase in share price.
If Allah grants us life(Inshallah) we shall all be here
relishing missed opportunities. Mark Twain is famed of stating that "history does not repeat itself but it rhymes".
