Are you actually saying the divide between me sitting in my chair watching documentaries on children being blown to bits while playing in the streets of Syria and those children actually being blown to bits in the streets of Syria is as negligible as me driving a 2017 Subaru to the American Airlines terminal and Robert Kioyiski driving a 2020 BMW with RICH DAD license plates to his private hangar?
Okay, obviously being blown to bits at age 4 is a game-ender, as well as a tragedy.
Do the math. You are, I think, 55. Kiyosaki is 72. You are both very intelligent men in possession of at least enough innate tendency towards azzholery to effectively "walk fence" or maintain boundaries on that which is yours. All humans currently on the planet are descended from much smaller group of humans alive around 3500 years ago. This is not long enough ago for much evolution to happen except in a few minor but important areas like ability to digest milk as an adult and some degree of innate protection against the black plague. Therefore, characteristics such as high IQ and "more than enough azzholery" are equidistributed around the globe.
You have, I think, a net worth of around $500,000. Kiyosaki has a rumored net worth of around $80,000,000. In order for you to achieve his net worth by age 72 through investment alone, you would have to earn an annual return that is slightly north of 34.75 %. I have taught many 4 year old children who are recent refugees from places like Syria, including some who are quite intelligent and also capable of fighting off others who try to confiscate Lego or cookie. Worldwide youth literacy is now at 91% level, which is probably better than in many urban neighborhood schools in the U.S. and should correlate fairly well with financial literacy. If a 4 year old refugee child invests 12 cents, and also earns 34.75% annual return rate, that 12 cents will be $80,000,000 by the time he is 72. But, a 4 year old who is in possession of all the internal assets shared by you and Kiyosaki, obviously doesn't even need that initial 12 cents to be ahead in this theoretical game, because his relative youthful vigor would easily be valued at vast multiples.
Of course, this model does not hold true, because 34.75% return rate is highly unlikely. and neither you or the 4 year old refugee child will be able to make your way to Kiyosaki status through less exponential mode of accumulation available through mechanism of $/ hour of hard-work *hours of life vigor remaining. Doesn't matter whether you periodically deposit $50,000 or EVEN if he periodically deposits $50000, at 4% neither of you are going to beat Kiyosaki. Therefore, the only likely options are A) use high IQ to innovate and/or B) use innate azzholery to dominate. Domination can take a variety of forms beyond direct snatching of Legos or cookies. For instance, dumping shit downstream is simply large scale equivalent of giving some poor kid a swirly. Game on! Who will win and how?
It could happen. At the household or personal economy level it definitely can happen, because you don't have to be super-intelligent to solve the problem(s) just for you and maybe a few of your friends. The main problem is maintaining that boundary without feeling like an azzhole.
