> Reading rich people's blogs reminds me every time that there's a reason wealth is also called "fortune". Because it's more about luck than anything else.

At some point they lose touch with reality. I've found their "advice" often doesn't work for young people who wanna become successful like them. Another example is Jensen:

"Nvidia doesn't have a long-term strategy, we just think about what to do next.

I don't wear a watch, because NOW is important"

and a lot of crap like that.

See every rich person telling young people to follow their passion.

Yes, it's so frustrating to hear them talk. Everyone knows a great deal of their success was luck (as discussed in the book Outlier), but they still find it amusing to lecture the "lesser folks" about ways to get rich.

That doesn't imply that Jensen thinks he's successful because he doesn't wear a watch. He's not that delusional.

oh he knows... you're telling me the CEO and co-founder of the most valuable company in history doesn't think he's successful?

NVIDIA was the most valuable stock for short period, before Apple took the record. It is now less valuable than Apple and Microsoft.

I have no idea whether he is or not. However I suspect it is very hard to remain grounded when you have so much wealth. Every interaction with the outside world is going to be clouded by it. People will be subservient in a way that us peons don't experience when we dine in McDonalds or shop in Walmart.
