You can't get Rich with a capital R through safe, traditional investing working even a SWE job.
You can get upper-class rich, seven figures rich, comfortable house, vacation home, early retirement rich, but you can't get Private Jet Rich, Masters of the Universe Rich, Look At Me Rich.
If you want to be Rich you need to to resort to something like playing the lottery, or starting a unicorn startup, or exploiting large numbers of people for your own profit, or crazy "technically it's not a pyramid" schemes like crypto and DeFi.
