I've inherited a total of $40,000 or so so far from various family and friends, which has probably given me a significant leg-up over someone like yourself. It's not quite in the same realm as the $850 million Donald Trump inherited to help him get his started, but $40k is probably is far more than you've seen. Being very smart and well-educated is what has given me my largest unfair advantage. Immediately after college I started as a well-paid union worker in a Chevron refinery and 9 months later I was promoted to Chevron Shipping with a pay rise. At the time Chevron's board had capped salary increases at 25% annually, so that was what I received during the years I worked there. I finally had my own firm providing consulting services to major real estate developers, where I could finally earn what I was worth. I'll be the first to admit that our economy doesn't provide this sort of opportunity to the less intelligent.
