I really don't care that she inherited it. So she got a quick start. She still managed what she had, and worked it into a whole lot more. That means she either worked very hard, or she hired people who worked very hard to manage her assets. Either way she had the brains to get good people that worked hard to keep it.

I have an uncle that inherited a small fortune and lost it within two years. From that experience he learned the value of money and has become very wealthy. He would be much more so if he would have learned the value of work and money before blowing his inheritance.

It took work to keep it as well as build it. If you get lazy you loose it, unless you have others who manage your affairs for you who work hard.

I would add, "Don't smell or taste like an ashtray and you'll get a date."
