Howard Schultz doesn’t like the “moniker” of billionaire because he “earned” all of his wealth.

Rubbish. Schultz built his fortune on the backs of workers, many of whom can barely afford to make ends meet.

The myth of the self-made billionaire is a cruel hoax.

@rbreich If you have £billion, that would enable you to spend £1 million a month for 80 years - a whole lifetime without counting any investment income. No-one can possibly “earn” that.
