It also means that if you get “bequeathed” $1000 and use it to buy tools, start a contracting business, and expand it into a large construction corporation over 30 years, you didn’t “self-make” anything either.

What pointless designation.

not sure where you are getting this from, maybe you are making it up? but that sort of person would be categorized as self-made minus their inherited $1000 and its expected returns.

“Expected returns” is a bullshit statement. Whether you invest in a personal company or a different company, it’s still capital gains.
