你認識的最有錢的人靠什么養(yǎng)家糊口？

Sams_lost_shoe
Owns a company that goes in and strips down stores that have shut down for whatever reason.

擁有一家公司，業(yè)務是去那些因為各種原因關門的店鋪里面，把里面的東西倒騰干凈。

Removes any product left behind, all the display racks, all the equipment, etc. All that's left when his crews are through is the walls, floors, plumbing, and wiring.

剩下的產品，所有的展示柜，所有的設備，等等，全都拿走。在他的人忙活完之后，剩下的就只有墻壁，地板，水管和電線。

Not only does he get paid to remove all of that, he then gets to auction off the stuff he removed for more money, and sells off any scrap metal as well.

他不止靠拆掉這些東西掙錢，他還能把自己拆下來的東西拍賣了掙到更多的錢，而且還能把廢舊金屬也賣了。

Ken-the-pilot
Similar vein, but strictly the removal, cataloging, disposing of (if asked/required) and storage of all of the documents and computers of said-closed down businesses. The guy started the company on a whim, and became a multi millionaire. Super cool and down to earth dude too.

我認識的也差不多，但只負責把這些關門的企業(yè)里面所有的文件和電腦帶走，分類并處置（如果有要求的話）。這人是突發(fā)奇想開的這家公司，然后就變成了百萬富翁。他是個很酷的人，也很接地氣。

HotndSquishyy
Owns a small regional construction company. They do mostly smaller projects in the 300K-3M range but he does a LOT of them and a BUNCH at once. He makes somewhere in the neighborhood of 150K a month. He's also kind of a shit businessman and runs his firm like a corn dog stand. I'll never understand his success, frankly.

是一家小型地區(qū)性建筑公司的老板。他們干的基本都是三十萬到三百萬的小工程，但是他會承包特別多工程，并且同時承包好幾個。他差不多一個月掙十五萬。而且他是那種不太擅長做生意的，把自己的企業(yè)搞得像個路邊攤一樣。說實話我永遠也沒法理解他是怎么成功的。

He's rich in spite of his best efforts not to be.

他特別有錢，哪怕他已經盡全力讓自己別那么有錢了。

He's a great guy, though. Generous to a fault.

但他確實是個好人。慷慨得簡直算是種缺點。

Rattle_Can
sounds like a good man. i hope he finds success everywhere he goes.

聽起來是個好人。我希望他到哪兒都能成功。

plytime18
He is succssful because people like him, enjoy his way, and probably his honesty and generosity - they can feel he is a grea guy, and so why NOT support him?

他能成功，是因為人們喜歡他，享受他做事情的方式，并且可能也喜歡他的誠實和慷慨——他們能感覺到他是個好人，所以為什么不支持他呢？

I bet he honors his commitmens and doesn’t nickle and dime his clients.

我打賭他說話算話，并且也不會坑客戶的錢。

Its been my experience that many of the successful wealthy ones are NOT greedy the way so many like to portray them - especially here on Reddit.

我個人的經歷就是，很多成功的富人都并非很多人喜歡描述的那樣貪婪——尤其是reddit這里。

Most are grateful for their success and enjoy being able to help others, to give back, and to share what they have with family and friends - not so much like handing out cash but sharing he things they have, or like taking them to big ball games or concerts, or even on vacation, or just always hosting grea aprties at their house, pool, ect.

絕大多數(shù)都對自己的成功心懷感激，并且享受可以幫助別人，可以回饋，可以把自己擁有的東西分享給家人和朋友這一點——不至于到分發(fā)現(xiàn)金的程度，但是可以分享他們擁有的東西，或者帶著他們去大型的球賽或是音樂會，或者甚至是去度假，或者只是在自己的家里，泳池之類的地方辦派對。

I know a few people who are so fucking cheap, and tight, and on top of that…theyactually will grab at anything free, PLUS even more….always looking to get theirs, and then some…and they make comments how they too should have done this or that - what they see others around them have done…and I let them talk but I always feel like, NO, never, they never would be successful because, they’re far too selfish, and far too much always about themselves — who the fuck would ever work for them, put up with that?

我也認識一些特別下賤，摳門的人，并且不僅如此，他們會拿走任何不用花錢的東西，甚至更多……總是想要拿到自己的那份，然后再多來點……而且他們還會評頭論足說他們也早就應該做這種事那種事，當他們看見他們周圍的人做成了的時候……我任他們去說，但是我總是覺得，不，不可能，他們永遠也不可能成功，因為他們實在是太自私了，也太自我了——這個世界上有誰會樂意為他們工作，忍受這種事情呢？

UnoriginalUse
He owns a piece of code that a multibillion euro company needs to run and licenses it out to them.

他有一段代碼的產權，一個數(shù)十億歐元價值的公司需要靠這個代碼運轉，他把這個代碼授權給他們。

Due-Listen2632
I work at a global fashion company and for 20 or so years, we relied on an algo that a consultancy firm (3 guys) had developed. In the original contract we signed, the consultancy firm were to "help us" with the web traffic data since we didn't have a proper IT departement at that time. Turns out the wording in the contract sucked, and we had signed over the actual data ownership to these guys, so they actually owned all of our web traffic data. They refused all offers we made to buy them out/void the contract and we had to buy back our own data for 20+ years, paying them ridiculous amounts of money every year.

我在一家跨國時尚企業(yè)工作了二十來年。我們依賴于一家三個人開的咨詢公司研發(fā)的算法。在我們一開始簽的合同里面，這個咨詢公司是來“幫助我們”解決網絡訪問數(shù)據(jù)的，畢竟我們當時還沒有像樣的IT部門。結果合同里的用詞有鬼，我們把數(shù)據(jù)的實際所有權送給了他們，所以他們擁有我們公司的所有網絡訪問數(shù)據(jù)。他們拒絕了我們購買這些數(shù)據(jù)或是撕毀合同的所有提案，我們只能在接下來的二十多年里不斷購買我們自己的數(shù)據(jù)，每年給他們付龐大的金額。

CO_PC_Parts
I work in data analytics. I get livid when our stupid marketing department wants to partner with the 40th different vendor who promises them the world. All we gotta do is install their base code.

我是干數(shù)據(jù)分析的。我們愚蠢的市場部想要和把全世界都許諾給他們的第四十個不一樣的小販合作的時候我快要氣死了。我們要做的是把他們的源代碼裝上。

All that code does is send them copies of our web data. They just hand it over. And then 6-8 months later I do an audit and they say “oh we don’t work with them anymore” yet their fucking code is still on our site.

那些代碼要做的就是把我們的網絡數(shù)據(jù)發(fā)給他們。他們只是把數(shù)據(jù)交給別人。然后再過留到八個月，我做審計的時候他們說，“哦我們不和他們合作了。”但是他們的代碼還在我們的網站上。

_TiminyCricket_
Same here. Went to high school with him, he wrote some code (something to do with the efficiency of how graphics are rendered) that he sold to a company that starts with an N and designs GPUs, back in late 90’s.

我也一樣。和他一起上的高中，他寫了段代碼（和渲染圖像的效率相關），在上世紀90年代賣給了一家N字開頭研發(fā)GPU的公司。

I don’t know how much he got, I just know that he retired at 23.

我不知道他掙了多少錢，我只知道他23歲就退休了。

Logical_Jicama_3821
How do you “sell” code?

你是怎么“賣”代碼的？

rbcello
Code is intellectual property, just like the written words in say, a novel. So if you write some code to do something unique and you publish it under a license, then companies can't use your code to aid in their business unless they pay you for access to a license to use it.

代碼是一種知識產權，就像小說那種寫下來的東西一樣。所以你寫了能做獨特的事情的代碼，然后依照某種協(xié)議公開，那么公司就不能用你的代碼去做他們的生意，除非他們給你錢，按照你的協(xié)議去用。

This is pretty common in programming. People write code to solve small, niche problems and make it available for other to use when they encounter those problems. They're called code libraries.

這在編程領域很常見。人們寫代碼解決小的，偏門的問題，然后讓別人遇到同樣的問題的時候有得用。這種東西叫做代碼庫。

If you "open-source" your library, then anyone can use it for free. If you "closed-source" it, then it usually requires payment to use. Often you'll see a hybrid approach taken where hobbyists are allowed to use a library for free, but if they want to start a company that uses the library, they have to start paying.

如果你“開源”你的庫，那么所有人就都能免費使用。如果你“閉源”，那么通常就要花錢才能用。你經常會見到的是一種混合的方法，愛好者們可以免費試用這個庫，但是如果他們想要用這個庫開公司，他們就要花錢了。

Alternatively, you can sell your library altogether instead of licensing it to people, which is what this guy did.

而你也可以把你的庫打包賣掉，而不是授權給別人，這個人就是這么做的。

The richest guy I had dealings with with was rich because an ancestor of his dealt industrial quantities of drugs on behalf of the British empire.

我認識的最有錢的人之所以有錢，是因為他祖上代表大英帝國大批量販賣毒品。

My ex girlfriend from when i was 16. Her parents came from nothing and are worth about 50 million. All from houses. They bought run down house, moved in and renovated. Sold it 6 months later then rinse and repeat. They have 200+ houses and a 3M mansion with pools (plural) horse riding fields, tennis courts. They build a recording studio in one of there outhouses for one of the kids. Crazy money.

我16歲那年的前女友。她父母白手起家，到身價五千萬。全都是房地產掙的。他們買下舊房子，搬進去重新裝修，六個月之后賣掉，然后重復一遍。他們手下有兩百多套房產，有一套價值三百萬的豪宅，帶泳池（不止一個），跑馬場和網球場。他們?yōu)樽约液⒆影哑渲幸粭澩馕莞慕ǔ闪虽浺襞?。錢多得嚇人。

This confirms that the music industry is really about how much money you start with.

這證實了在音樂行業(yè)重要的就是你有多少錢。

the_roguetrader
years ago rock bands generally came from working class backgrounds, whereas nowadays it's often middle or upper class kids - basically people who don't need to work for a living and can sit around being artistic every day !

多年以前，搖滾樂隊基本都來自工薪階層，而現(xiàn)在都是中產或者上層子弟——基本就是一群用不著工作養(yǎng)家糊口，每天都能坐著當藝術家的人！

I saw a hotly tipped girl punk band lately... the singer / guitarist was about 18 and already had professional equipment - the kind of stuff the rest of us can only dream of...

我最近看了一個收小費收得特別多的女子朋克樂隊……主唱兼吉他手剛十八歲出頭，就已經有專業(yè)設備了——那些我們只能做夢想想的東西……

with the current 'cost of living crisis' and collapse of the traditional music industry, I doubt many poor kids get famous these days !

隨著現(xiàn)在的生活成本危機出現(xiàn)和傳統(tǒng)音樂行業(yè)的崩塌，我懷疑以后還能有多少窮人家的孩子出名！

It always was. All arts are luxuries for people with more money than they know what to do with. Mozart only survived cause royalties with unlimited funds supported him. Without the rich Mozart would have died like random peasants.

一直都是這樣。所有的藝術都是那些錢多到不知道怎么花的人的奢侈品。莫扎特能活下來，只是因為錢多到花不完的王室成員支持他。沒有這些富人，莫扎特也會像個窮農民一樣死去。

Real estate development. This guy I know buys up commercial properties, renovates them, and leases them out. It sounds straightforward, but the scale he operates is huge, and he always seems to be two steps ahead of the market

房地產開發(fā)。我認識的這個人會買下商業(yè)房產，重新裝修，然后出租出去。聽起來很直截了當，但是他干得很大，而且好像總是能領先市場兩步。

KillinTheBusiness
Pastor of a megachurch. Dude has a 10 bedroom home, a dream kitchen both inside/outside the house, a theater, and every other luxury that I could imagine. Has "guest pastors" to cover up going on expensive vacations every couple of months, etc. He is the sole reason I became disillusioned with the church that I grew up in.

是一個巨型教會的牧師。這哥們有個10間臥室的房子，房子內外各一個奢華的廚房，一個影院，還有各種各樣我能想得到的奢侈品。他有“客座牧師”來掩蓋自己每幾個月出去花大錢度假的事實。他是我對自己從小到大待的教會祛魅的唯一原因。

This is the definition of taking the lord’s name in vain. Saying “Oh my god” or saying Muhammad’s name isn’t the sin. This is. Using your religion’s name for personal profit.

這就是褻瀆上帝的名的定義。說“我的上帝啊”或者說先知穆罕默德的名字不是罪。這才是罪。用你宗教的名義去追求個人的利益。

I met one sitting next to me on an airplane. She said she works two 24 hour shifts per month. She can sleep in a cot half the time. Two people are on call at all times for emergency surgeries. So someone can sleep and another work the surgery. $200K per year, 4 days per month. The reason is the risk and knowledge to not kill patients is high. This role is often sued

我坐飛機的時候，在鄰座認識了一位。她說她每個月干兩次24小時的班。其中一半的時間她可以睡在折疊床上。兩個人要24小時待命準備緊急手術。所以一個人睡覺，另一個干手術。一年二十萬美元，一個月干四天。理由就是風險很高，不害死病人所要求的知識也很高。這一行經常被起訴。

Same as the richest person I “personally” know. We work on the same team, dude works hard, keeps his head down, bangs out quality code. As far as I know we are in the same pay band, but he owns outright a house at one of the nicest neighborhoods in San Francisco. I only knew because we got close over the years and he invited me over to watch a football game with his buddies one time. Dude had a personal chef ffs. No wonder he never had a good word to say about the company cafeteria lol.

和我“私下里”認識的最有錢的人一樣。我們在同一個團隊工作，這哥們工作很努力，非常低調，寫的代碼很有質量。據(jù)我所知我們拿的工資差不多，但是他在舊金山最好的社區(qū)有一棟房子。我認識他只是因為我們這幾年走得越來越近，他有一次帶我和他的好朋友們一起看橄欖球比賽。這哥們他媽有自己的私人廚師。怪不得他對我們公司的食堂從來沒說過好話哈哈。

Fun jobs out of boredom or starts something because it's their new hobby, then abandoning it to move onto their next newest hobby short while later. 

因為無聊而找個有意思的工作，或者因為有了新的愛好開始干點什么，然后放棄掉，過一陣子再開始忙活下一個愛好。

 Born to wealthy parents who inherited massive passive income from their parents who did the heavy lifting. Two generations that never had a real worry for anything or a did hard days work. It's kinda sad but they can't do anything for themselves that normal people do daily, always have servants and maids at their beck and call. 

家里父母都有錢，父母的錢也是繼承上一代大筆的被動收入，他們才是真正干事的。兩代人沒為任何事操過心，沒干過一天的活。其實挺讓人難過的，他們沒法像正常人一樣每天照顧好自己，身邊永遠有男仆女仆等著。

QuantumWalker
Hahaha trust me, it is not sad my friend

哈哈哈相信我，一點也不值得難過。

noodlyarms
I mean, if it's not sad that you can't clean or feed yourself because for 2 generations you've had servants do it for you and you're suddenly thrusted into the real world and entirely helpless than i dunno what is sad then. I had to teach the guy how to use a microwave, buy/cook food, do laundry, not get taken advantage of, basic cleaning and picking up after themselves, use public transit, etc... while in college. Guy was completely inept and frankly probably would have died from starvation despite being surrounded by the ingredients to make food. Parents were seemingly the same way.

我的意思是，如果你自己沒法好好吃飯，好好收拾自己，因為兩代人以來都有仆人照顧你們，然后你忽然被扔進了真實世界什么也干不了，這都不算讓人難過的話，那我真的不知道什么才算是了。我上大學的時候，得教這哥們怎么用微波爐，怎么買吃的，怎么做飯，怎么洗衣服，怎么別被別人敲竹杠，怎么把自己收拾干凈，怎么坐公交，等等。這哥們完全啥也干不了，說實話可能有一天會守著餅餓死。他父母看起來也是一樣。
