No one becomes super wealthy because of acute business acumen. They become super wealthy because they are lucky that their products/services/investments pan out properly.

Bill Gates, who I have a lot of respect for, didn't become super wealthy because of his business skills (although they obviously had a lot to do with it) but because the industry he happened to be in exploded.

Thats all fine and good. I have no issue with that. But it does point to what I would consider a flaw in the way wealth is distributed. But what that flaw is I am still not sure of.
