Well I wouldn't take farmers as an example for someone rich doing nothing. They usually work their ass off 7 days a week and live quite in poverty. They have a lot of assets but no money to spend. The cast majority of them at least
Potentially true of the small family farm perhaps, but that's a dying breed. Many farms are owned by large groups these days.
In France, a majority of farmers don't meet the minimum salary
A farmer who was handed a multi-million dollar farm at birth is still significantly more advantaged than a staggering majority of people, doesn't mean they dont work hard, but it would take most people all the good years of their lives working just as hard or harder to build up to where that farmer started. Assuming they even make it to that point.
