1. Rich people believe being wealthy is a right … while the average person believes being wealthy is a privilege. "World-class thinkers know in a capitalist country they have the right to be rich if they're willing to create massive value for others," Siebold writes. The masses think getting rich is reserved for a lucky few. "This distinction in thinking leads the middle class to the lottery and the world class to work," he says.
