>Is it just smart investments over a long period, or you work at FAANG companies or something making high salaries?
Both. Graduate from a top 50 college with a useful major (econ, compsci, statistics, engineering, etc.) and a high GPA, polish your resume, practice interviews, and get hired for some white collar job at a big company that everybody's heard of. Try hard to get promoted in one year.
Then, every 2 or 3 years, branch swing to a better-paying job with a fancier title at a different company that everybody's heard of. By the time you're 30 you'll be earning $200k+ and you'll have a very nice resume.
When it comes to investments, look for opportunities to invest in stuff that everybody is going to know eventually, but not everybody knows yet. I risked $2k on Celsius energy drinks before anybody had heard of them, and now they're sold everywhere (and my investment has 15x'd). I'm up 25x on Nvidia. And I'm up 120x on my bitcoin investment. Obviously I never would've earned those returns investing in dividend stocks and index funds.
