Because the attributes that lead you to be rich also make you a workaholic?

This isn't rocket science. Relative wealth is ultimately mainly due to your decisions. That's why most lottery winners end up losing the money. If they had the sense to not lose it they wouldn't need the lottery to make them 'rich'.

That is not true at all. There are also poor workaholics.

It’s the “hustle” and I know so many people, poor, in the middle, or doing quite well who like to talk about the hustle. People take pride being part of some kind of hustle. Not all people of course.

(s)he's saying that being a workaholic is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for becoming that rich.
