Thank god especially German inheritance does not come from any sort of families working with fascists. It would be just awful, if say BMW had any family connection with Goebbels or something like that.

Now I'm going to pretend I am surprised that many wealthy people just have wealthy parents and actually aren't the "self-made men" they love to paint themselves as.

All you need is a vision, ambition and a few million starting capital.
