There's a colloquial sense of building something that doesn't require that you do 100% of the work yourself. For example, when people say they're building a house, almost always they're just hiring someone else to actually build it and all they've contributed was money.

Besides that, there are some billionaires that did get their wealth honestly in my estimation, like JK Rowling and Markus Persson.

> JK Rowling

A good point. I wasn't aware that she was a billionaire and she apparently gave most of it away by now, dropping her well bellow a billion again.

> Markus Persson.

I remember that there was a lot of controversy around Minecraft, but I can't accurately recall the details to counter that.
