Most startups fail, so this is less typical. Especially if not founder/executive. Maybe director is very high level?

Inherited business from daddy, construction. Works little, likes to sport fish.

Inherited money from daddy, who was a bank president. Has "business" where they golf most of the time.

One came from a middle class family, but is a mathematical genius and made $$$ by middle age working their butt off for tech companies back in the 90s and 2000s.

Bleh. But define rich. Are we talking top 1% HHI? 10 million net worth? Living off interest and not needing to work?
