"Looking at this you will realize that founding (or getting significant equity in) a successful business is how you build wealth on a large scale. This is how the Walton family (of Walmart fame) became the richest family in America with an estate worth over $200 billion, and how most billionaires on the Forbes 400 list got their wealth as well. 
And, even for the 30% on the Forbes 400 that inherited a significant portion of their wealth, that inheritance came from someone who created a successful business. It’s business ownership all the way down."

As an outsider and huge fan of New York, I have been following this conversation. I have no doubt in the long run New York will be just fine.
