you might get the number 1 spot by lying to people about your success or lying to customers, it you think buying something that's worth much less than what you paid is being good with money, then sure he deserves number 1, but maybe he's just lucky that his father had money and he seems to be just an idiot
When you inherit a ton of money and invest it in every stupid idea you have...
With enough time and money eventually you'll stumble into something successful by pure chance. That doesn't mean you're good with money, just that you got lucky.
