it sucks that those types of investments are only accessible to the folks who are already filthy rich tho.
Maybe, but you don't know their problems intimately any more than they do yours. Cold as it may seem, all that cake and the man still died and can't dictate how his future generations use the wealth.
An investment is an investment. The whole point is to be better next week/month/year than where you are now. The stumbling block for most people is time, because everybody wants a bag nownownow with minimal grind. Kobe put in his grind in any number of practice hours to have a game worthy of opening some doors. Other people will have their own challenges and avoid them watching other people shine and be envious. The envy builds nothing and wastes time. We have work to do. Get right with your people, get 3-5 people's money pooled, invest in a corner shop/grocery store/urban farm/internet cafe/whatever, put your kids to work in the mix, run it legit, flip it to a gas station, flip that to three, in 15-20 years you have an umbrella corporation to branch out anywhere you want...and I mean anywhere. By the time your kids are adults you're looking at local politics, commercial/residential zoning, community banking/credit unions, the list is literally endless. Ignore the head fakes and distractions, ignore the family members looking for handouts or on scam games, pay attention to your legal biz always, and prosper.
Onward and upward. The only way forward is together.
