@@doggo2995 have to depend on the situation. China almost has as much billionaire than US even though they still have a 6 trillion dollar GDP differences. The richest person in the US are hoarding like 200 billion dollar while the richest person in china only has something like 30 to 40 billion dollar (which is very small amount for a second richest country. India richest person has 60 billion dollar of wealth). So yeah, at least China took care of the income gap so top 5% of people would not hoard 90% of the country's wealth like the US.

In some of these countries, the best way to become a billionaire is to make something that many people around the world want or need. In others, it's to inherit what your ancestors acquired unjustly, to sit on a natural resource and grant access to it for a price, or to suck up to despots.

Let's not forget that most billionaires directly and indirectly employ 100,000s of people. Their wealth is not in cash but ownership of assets. Anyone can buy/build assets.
