Being rich is like getting extra at-bats in a baseball game. If you're normal or poor, you typically get one strike and you're out. You saved your capital, invested it, and if you fail, you're gone.
When you're rich, you get to swing several times at the ball. When you miss, you fall back to your wealth/family to support you while you save up for your next swing. Then, when you finally hit, as you're running the bases you can boast to everyone about how self-made your success is.
When you're filthy rich, you have infinite at-bats, and basically it doesn't matter how good a baseball player you are, you're going to win.
