The skill that billionaires have is to stay on top of some self-inflating economic baloon while pushing other people off.

People who are billionaires now are people who were lucky enought to get on top of the baloons that actually flew and continue to self-inflate and stayed there while pushing everybody else off of them.

If the process of balloon selection wasn't mostly random, pg would have help found 30 conpanies instead of 6500.
