It’s crazy how all these cacs get labeled as self made billionaires when none of them are

[skokiaan]

even billionaires still borrow money for new ventures...you can never make it on your own with your own money without anyones help/investment.

come up with a business idea that others buy into/ believe in to put they money...thats self made.

Getting a 1 million dollar loan in the 60s is huge. If you mess it up you are the mother of all bums.

Getting a 1 million dollar loan from the teamsters in the 60's meant he was connected. If you want to give him the benefit of the doubt, his father got the teamsters insurance deals and they gave his son a loan in return. If you're a little more suspicious, this was organized crime. Back then, the mafia was using teamsters funds to finance their businesses and launder money.

They not just handing out 1 million dollar loans to every Tom d1ck and Harry. Especially when it’s a child asking for it. In this case, dudes family was apparently well connected. 1 million dollars back in those days was probably 15 million in todays dollars.

His family owned slaves in Texas. Probably owned the grandmothers and grandfathers of the same c00ns defending his ass today.

"Self made" when applied to the rich is usually code for chose good investments with other people's money
