Not talking about the money, but the attitude. I know there's luck and inheritance involved, but that can't be the only reason, if it is, a lot of rich nepo kids would be billionaires.

Literally just talk pridefully and like you know everything. Most people won't be able to discern bullshit anyway.

You can't. You'd have to be born into a rich family with aristocratic or bourgeois traditions and be inculcated with the spirit of high culture from an early age. If you even have to ask it's over for you

There’s a hunger, you can see in their eyes
They stare as if they are looking for their next meal, but rather than something as simple as food or even satisfaction it is an endless one for power and wealth. A desire to have all, lest the consider themselves having nothing. These are men whose brain chemistry has been warped by the absurd amount of money that comes with being at the top.
There can be ethical millionaires, but there has never been an ethical billionaire, as that level of success requires others to fail as your climb to the top.
The prince by Machiavelli is probably what you want, but I doubt even he could have predicted an age where power didn’t come inheriting blood and titles but rather the wealth and power you could wield

The Power of Positive Thinking. The author was Donald Trump's pastor and his writing heavily influenced him. That's why he talks the way he does (vastly inflating every aspect of his life). You might not like him, but that mindset made him very successful (yes I'm aware of his dad's wealth but he wasn't a billionaire).

I'd also recommend Titan, which is a biography of John D Rockefeller. Numerous times it talks about his unshakeable belief in himself. For example, when he was a kid, he'd constantly tell his friend, "I'm bound to be rich. I'm bound to be rich". He would say it not as a wish or hope, but as an absolute certainty.

Maybe also Principles by Ray Dalio (a hedge fund billionaire).

I tried that but I am failing. I can't bring myself to ruin people's lives. I work in Insurance, and my job is to find obscure stuff to deny people their insurance. Thing is, most of them are uneducated poor, who were lied to, when it was sold to them. I make sure their claim is approved. My boss hates me and thinks I am a retard, I might lose my job :(

Read the Law of One. I'm not expecting you to buy into its whole premise, but it may resonate with you. It explains how what we consider evil is simply one path to the self realization of God. But it also warns of the cost of taking such a path (you basically have to brainwash yourself into becoming a psychopath, meaning you'll probably never have meaningful bonds with other people).

I can't imagine wanting to be like these people, Musk especially. I can imagine wanting to have a gazillion dollars, or to be the powerful overlord of some huge corporation, sure, but I can't imagine wanting to be the person aside from all that. Do you really think those people have some particular wisdom?

>Clever though be the many thoughts expressed by mouth or pen about the invention of money and its enormous value as a civiliser, against such praises should be set the curse to which it has always been doomed in song and legend. If gold here figures as the demon strangling manhood's innocence, our greatest poet shews at last the goblin's game of paper money. The Nibelung's fateful ring become a pocket-book, might well complete the eerie picture of the spectral world-controller. By the advocates of our Progressive Civilisation this rulership is indeed regarded as a spiritual, nay, a moral power; for vanished Faith is now replaced by "Credit," that fiction of our mutual honesty kept upright by the most elaborate safeguards against loss and trickery. What comes to pass beneath the benedictions of this Credit, we now are witnessing, and seem inclined to lay all blame upon the Jews.
- Richard Wagner, Know Thyself

>They know neither Greek myths nor Christian ethics nor French moralism nor German metaphusics nor the poetry of all the poets in the world. Before the true life, they are only dwarfs. But they are Goliath technicians – thus giants in every work of destruction, where they ultimately conceal their mission, that they ignore as such. They have a clarity and unusual precision about everything that is mechanical. They are confused, stunted, drowned, by all that is beauty and love. They are titans and cyclops, spirits of darkness, negators and enemies of all creative forces. Those who can reduce millions of years of organic development to nothing by a few meager efforts, without leaving anything behind that could equal the least spring of grass, the least grain of corn, the smaller wing of a mosquito. They are far from poems, wine, dreams, games, hopelessly lost in fallacious doctrines, articulated in the manner of pretentious professors. Nevertheless, they have their mission to accomplish.
- Ernst Junger, Paris Journals
