Good post. What’s interesting is that most people who are fabulously wealthy and fit your first description never really had any interest in getting “rich.” When they started out on their path to success, people like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs probably didn’t care if they ended up worth $5 million, $500 million or $50 billion.

Bill Gates was a trust fund baby from a very wealthy Seattle family. He had his first million the day that he was born.
The success of Microsoft was due the initial contract it received from IBM. And Microsoft came to the attention of IBM through his mother’s social contacts as chairwoman of United Way International.
