>>211589204Being that rich when you are self-made (i.e. not a trust fund baby) requires you to be in a highly competitive field. In Rock's case it is acting, primarily, followed by tequila business and whatever the fuck else he has a stake in.
When you work in a competitive field, if you are not putting in the same work as others, you WILL fall behind, no matter how famous you are right now. EVERYONE gets a decline eventually, so you have to be constantly on edge and innovating and / or diversifying. You may not consider "work" to be meeting several hours every day with different agents / investors / people with ideas for you to make more money or to stay famous, but it is. "Work" is only mindless, shitty, and soul-sucking when you are some serf at Walmart or a similar wagie slave job, and EVEN THEN, with the right attitude, customer base and co-workers, that kind of job can still be fulfilling.
This meme idea from butthurt poorfags that the rich just prance around and fuck while their ebin secret stonks continue to make them free money is just coping. Sure there will be some money in stocks and speculation for the average richer, but the bulk of the money is from excelling at their field, whether that is business, legal, or yes, acting.
