The most conspicuous examples of so-called entrepreneurs and founders are really just class bullshitters [1]. This class of solopreneur as portrayed by "the media" typically comes from a well-off family, so basic living expenses are already covered behind the scenes.

Another frivolous example is the boutique kombucha company founder living a posh Manhattan lifestyle, with frequent updates to their instagram about their life and "success". The hip status of being a founder/entrepreneur is their ultimate goal, not financial success, as finances are not a concern for this class of individual.
