People always be like "Oh Mr Billionaire tell us how you made your billions of dollars! What's your secret ingredient to success??" as if the truthful answer isn't "I convinced the government to pay me money to make a thing that was already free before, and then sold it back to the government (or to myself!) for a huge markup at taxpayer expense. This artificially inflated the value of my stock which I then used as collateral to secure enormous personal loans that I have no intention of ever paying back. Also I refuse to pay my workers and I don't pay a single cent in taxes."

It's crime. The secret ingredient is crime.
