There are no innocent millionaires. The threshold of wealth that requires some seriously unethical behaviour is pretty low.

What do you count as innocent? Like doesn’t use products made in factories with human rights violations? I’m never gonna hit a million, but economists are saying we all need to have a Mil or three in order to retire? I know a couple million airs who seem like normal people, they’re just business owners?

I mean there is no way to goss a million a year without directly and knowingly exploiting people on a daily basis.

You definitely can not become a millionaire on YOUR hard work. It takes the hard work of other people working for you. And unless you over charging for their work or under paying them for their work, you aren’t going to be making millions.

nah million USD isn’t as much money as it used to be. That’s a house and couple of cars in more expensive countries. Though, personally 1 million USD net worth would be more than enough for me and my family.
