My buddy made a small fortune racing cars. Before he died, he told me the secret. Start with a big fortune.

oh here's the transcription
A reporter asks a billionaire how he earned his wealth.
The billionaire's response was: A long time ago, I had absolutely nothing but a penny. So I took that penny and bought a pencil from the corner store and then sold it to my classmate for two cents.
Then again, I bought two pencils, sold them for four cents. Two became four, four became eight, then sixteen, then thirty-two... until I had $20.48.
That's when my father had a massive heart attack, and I inherited $47 billion.

I assume it ended with "that's when my dad had a massive heart attack and i inherited all my wealth"

That's correct, the transcription has been provided. Incidentally, the image itself is working for me.

To be hinest, if they found a way to extract 100% profit margin at any volume (double their investment), they'd be at 50B fairly quickly. They need just a few more pencil resale cycles. 😂
More likely "I took advantage of the working class and now rent it two thirds of everyone's income and I own a bottomless pit of their debts"
Of course, that was how his father and ancestors got their wealth, this is just how the billionaire failson earned his.
Yes, also you don't have to go far back at all to find ancestors who just murdered people and stole their land and stuff.
