I am not going to lie, I click on every single one of these reddit links that people post here. I agree, very insightful.

Wow I read through his messages, and for him to stay professional with all the hate remarks amazes me. That man at least has enough dignity to say that it was his parents that did the work and not him. He is just blessed to be born into his life. Good for him, I hope he makes his own billion.

I just read the questions directly preceding the answer. The rest is just a waste of time for me.

Yeah, Reddit is known for being a massive waste of time. Just never click 'load more comments' or go into any of the weird sections... lol

"It's not about what you have - it's about who you know."

Wow, complete and utter bullshit.

Also, why is this AmA relevant on this forum? Just because he is the son of a billionaire why does this mean he's qualified to give advice on entrepreneurship? Why should we look up to this guy?

Chances are he probably knows less than the average person when it comes to starting a business, seeing how he's given everything he desires.

Haven't the last like, 3 of these been fake? I thought the cafe/bank statement one, and the dude impersonating the shades of grey character should tell you to stay away from these. Who knows, you get something from it, that's all that matters.

I thinks so as well. Readinf this didn't really help me and neither did it motivate me or anything like that. If I want to know about rich children, I can go and watch some reality TV.

If you don't like it don't open it. No one forced you to even read this thread.

No surprises here, the title of this thread told me exactly what to expect upon entering

People who say it's not what you know its who you know is bullshit, maybe all you are running is a small businesses?

Where the money gets to multiple millions and up, it's all about who you know not what you know. This is the result of a highly technocratically managed society. To get into certain industry as a worker, this will be very true already.

Yes, I know this is a death blow to a lot small time fastlaners out there who still believes we have a functional free market society, the truth is, we haven't had one for a long while, most before you were even born.

I've preferred the alternative

"it's not who you know, it's who knows you"
