The media glorifies many rich businessmen and women, as business gurus because they happen to have made billions. Yet these folks have often never really operated a business.
They may have started a business for which they received stock certificates that have become very valuable. But they may have never run a business. The public is duped simply because they see wealth.
Yes, some actually have run businesses. Sam Walton who originated Walmart was an example. People who opened up and closed the premises, and who did the hiring and made up the payroll.
If you oversee just the stock price and merge companies and buy others, you are a different sort of business person. The public too often makes no distinction, yet hands out the same plaudits. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
