> it’s basically impossible to accumulate that amount of wealth through work

Not at all. I have no doubt that Jeff Bezos, for example, works very hard. The difference is not whether or not a person works, but what they work on.

Another poster upthread (mightybyte) suggested viewing this in terms of leverage: how much is the impact of your work magnified? I think this is a very fruitful way of looking at it; see my post upthread in response.
