Look up Zhang Xin and read her story, she didn't just get lucky.... she worked her butt off and saved up a lot of money.
Guess nobody wants to end income inequality?
Or are we just gonna sit and complain about it and do nothing about it?
If you want to donate half of your income to charity, then go ahead! I'm not rich, so I won't be joining you.
