5. How To Get Rich? Pick Your Parents Carefully

I do realize that the United States is a country where a person can be born poor and later become rich. However, I do not think guys like Donald Trump should write books telling people how to become rich. Donald Trump was born to rich parents. It was said that when Donald was old enough and decided to start his business career his dad brought him to a bank and introduced him to bankers.

It might be easy to become rich/richer when your dad has the money to loan you $1 million, introduce you to his banker friends, and then leave you about $40million-$200 million and a multi-million/multi-billion dollar business. Maybe Trump did a good job hiring the right people, but it also helped him that he was born into a rich family.
