I think this might be reflective of "the bubble". I live in a pretty rural area, and all of the wealthy people I know got there by either being successful in a family business - usually livestock - or by diversifying once they got to ~$150k / year in 2018 money. Most of them have several rental properties and either a small business of their own or have invested in multiple small businesses in the area.

Farms, small businesses and real estate examples are examples of concentration to make wealth and not diversification.

So it sounds like you agree with me.

What am I missing?
