    The biggest lottery winners are not influencers or coin traders - they win the “Little people lottery”… the biggest lottery winner will always be those that start with an ability to make an enormous buy in and simply multiply that wealth over time by the exploitation of others.

      They maybe won the most but the hardest to make is the first, I’d guess, $100,000 to $1,000,000. Sure, if you’re given that you can easily make more but if you don’t have to work too hard for it the next $1,000,000 is much easier.

    Most lottery winners don’t become influencers though. Nothing will change

    Influencers are petite bourgeois. They work their own operation for profit, like a restaurant owner. The bourgeois are those who simply own assets and don’t have to work them to still take a profit.

      why are we still letting some french assholes from 300 years ago define our socioeconomic vernacular?

      what’s the point of all these new words, rizz and fleek and bussin etc if we’re still using a bunch of faux-faux bullshit rhetoric from a bunch of pompous ass wig fetishists?

        Do you have a different term that indicates the same thing?

        Financially independent? Why use all the extra syllables? What word do you use to refer to the class of people who can coast indefinitely on their existing wealth?
