Wealth

Who is responsible for your wealth, or lack of it?

Do you usually consider wealth in terms of money or knowledge? 

Too many people continue to provide unnecessary financial support to wealthy entertainers, including sports-related ones.  They therefore contribute to the wealth of the associated managers, agents, entourages, advertising, sponsorship teams and broadcasters while unnoticed people, all over the world, are dying through insufficient government support and overstretched health services.

What do you know about wealth in relation to management?

Perhaps you mistake being wealthy for being influential.

Perhaps you mistake being famous for being influential.

The famous and the wealthy are often required to employ security services for their own purposes, whether privately or through public funds.

Wealthy people may or may not buy influence in particular situations.  They may or may not promote themselves as philanthropists and/or as funders of a particular political party and/or supporters of a particular sports team.  They may prefer to keep a low profile for security reasons and channel money through relatively anonymous entities.

Whether wealthy or famous or powerless, many people have little political influence if their views do not coincide with the views of powerfully influential persons.

The powerfully influential may or may not be bullies.

The state is meant to protect everyone from bullies.

Democratic states are also meant to prevent individuals from having excessive influence and too much power.

Such states are also meant to empower the powerless.
