Why Ben Shapiro Is Rich — And Why You’re Not
An inconvenient truth.
A few weeks ago, conservative political commentator (and de facto businessman) Ben Shapiro sat down with the Iced Coffee Podcast where he explained how he built The Daily Wire from $0 to $1 billion in less than 10 years.
Since The Daily Wire is a content company and content is kind of my thing, I took a deep breath and watched the whole clip hoping to learn some tips as to how I could do the same.
Long story short, I didn’t learn how to build a $1 billion media company.
But I did learn some stuff about who gets to be rich and who does not.
And why.
Why Ben Shapiro Is Rich
Shapiro, like all rich people, likes to say that he didn’t get rich by chance — hE gOt rIch beCaUse hE woRkeD hArd.
Beyond the work itself, he acknowledged that growing up in a two-parent home certainly made that easier.
The rest is hard work. Just work hard and you too can be rich like Ben Shapiro one day. There’s nothing else to see here. Move along, please!
Obviously, this isn’t true.
Shapiro has a lot of energy. And he’s smart.
