Money doesn't make a man smart. In fact most people become obscenely wealthy through dedication, luck, hard work or entirely by accident. Few become wealthy simply through intelligence. And even fewer delve into the boring World of economics.
Here are some interesting statistics I pulled from an article discussing the survey results.
36% of earners and 27% of heirs are concerned about an economic recession.
77% of earners and 67% of heirs believe they have a lot of control of their financial future.
39% of earners and 21% of heirs are moderate or risky investors.
75% of earners and 50% of heirs have less stress thanks to their wealth.
51% of earners and 33% of heirs believe their wealth has led to increases of happiness.
Heirs are twice as likely to believe that their wealth causes more problems that it solves.
37% of earners and 25% of heirs believe that luck played a major role in their financial success.
