I guess I just don't seem to understand. There is, of course, a numerous amount of wealthy people in the U.S. I guess my question is why is it that these people don't share information on how to make money, or even share a little bit of their secrets to success. Isn't there enough money out there for everyone? Just wondering.

There are a few who were born with the proverbial silver spoon sticking out of their mouths, but there are plenty who 'made it' and will tell you in a heartbeat that it's hard work, persistence, and dedication. By the way, I'm sure if you look around you, you'll realize that you are wealthy as well -- friends, family, health, etc. Money truly isn't everything, even though it does help!! God bless!

Why would a wealthy person tell you their secret ?
people get wealthy becuase many of them don't share how they made it..if they do plenty of people would be doing it and less wealth of the wealthy, right?
the people you see on TV or websites - I'll make you rich becomes rich by scamming you! they made money on you not on the products they sell..

The actual truth is that many wealthy people were given money passed down to them from previous generations. Yes, some Americans do strike it rich in this country, but the reality is that where you are born nowadays is what level you will die in, or lower. It's an illusion that in America everyone has equal chances to get rich based on hard work alone. With each generationrich people get wealthier due to compounded interest, favorable tax shelters and cuts, etc.

The present system of wealth distribution is based upon a pyramid scheme where the vast majority of the workers are at the bottom, struggling just to survive, while the profits of all their labours go to the wealthy elite. Call it free market capitalism or call it slavery, it is obscene, immoral, and unjust... and as long as workers submit and do not organize, it is unlikely to ever change, much less grant them access to better standards of living.

Bill Gates has publicly shared his success story. Warren Buffet has. And so have many others. A common theme is intelligent hard work.

The secrets of acquiring wealth.
1. WORK at something you love.
2. BUDGET what you spend.
3. SAVE and invest at least 10% of your income.
That's what I did. I retired at 53, almost 8 years ago. I've go enough to last me for the rest of my life, and I never made more than $55,000 per year.

Because in the long run, most of them got wealthy working hard and making wise decisions.

hahaha, are you serious?
American's don't do anything differently. Everybody works, and nobody's success is guaranteed.
