Ask give to give you a job in the company.
How would I even apply? If I write directly to him, I doubt I'll get a response.
If I 'apply' in a traditional sense, I'll just he another rookie

Write him, you might be surprised. As the old saying goes "No risk, no reward." Also, as a species we long for connection and support, not just for ourselves, but for others.How would I even apply? If I write directly to him, I doubt I'll get a response.

What can I offer him.. Yes, I struggle with this since he already has pretty much everything at his fingertips, lol.
Perhaps I worded the original question badly.
I'm not trying to 'take' anything from him.
More likely trying to earn an apprenticeship. But why should he give me even that?
Guys.. this extremely wealthy man isn't my uncle.
My uncle is his RIGHT HAND MAN. Lol. Which was why I said I doubt he'd reply. He has no clue who I am.
Realize there are no handouts and create a legacy of your own
Ask your uncle directly?Guys.. this extremely wealthy man isn't my uncle.

I bet you would get a response. Just email him like "Hey my uncle was ______, and he told me a lot about you. Just wanted to shoot you an email and say hello" and if there's a natural rapport there roll with it. I actually think the chance of him responding is very very high.How would I even apply?

This. He's not gonna ignore you unless you ask something completely absurd.Figure out what you want that wouldn't be too presumptuous (Can I have $1 million dollars for nothing in return is a NO. Can I get some advice, how would I do X, can you review my business plan etc is a YES.), and then ask for it.
"Using" a "connection"?
You sound more worried about what he can do for you. Why should he do anything with that kind of attitude?
If you sent him an email about what you can do for him, you're a lot more likely to get a reply.
So reverse the question. Is there anything about you that he can use?
If not, follow Sebastaya's advice. Actually, follow it regardless.
Just email him like "Hey my uncle was ______, and he told me a lot about you. Just wanted to shoot you an email and say hello"
Imagine if you were in his position and you got an email like that.

Ah... I didn't read the whole thread and the title said "was his right hand man," which made me think he was somehow out of the picture. If her uncle is still around then the answer is much easier, in that she can just speak to her uncle.Terrible advice from an otherwise awesome advice giver. The uncle's not dead. The uncle probably has the office right next to the big guy.
