  Technically, I’m sorry, but that’s incorrect. Even if you own a company, you are still doing work. You may not be doing the physical manual labor, but you’re still doing work.

    “be part of the owner class” they said - not “be a business owner”

    It’s completely possible to own a piece of this and a piece of that and just sit and watch the checks come in. You just need to enter the picture with enough liquid cash.

    Not if you are rich enough you don’t. Most people still do because everybody needs something worthwhile. But you don’t strictly need to work when you have reached some arbitrary level of wealth and ownership.

    If you parked a million dollars in QYLD, you’d get about $120k per year (pretax) in exchange for your contribution to society of “having a spare million dollars”
