    Of course they can. So can anyone.

    Paul Newman.
    Bruce Springsteen
    Bob Dylan
    Eminem
    Brian May is probably a millionaire.
    The list goes on.

    The woman from the Dirty John podcast was IxFx and owned a successful business iirc

    To be a millionaire, start at age 25, invest $400/month in a low load index matched mutual fund and you will retire a millionaire.

    If the stock market fails to make you a millionaire, society probably has problems that money won’t solve.

    To have more money when you retire, start earlier or invest more. Starting early makes a huge difference. The stock market returns about 7% on average. That means, after your first year of investing $400 x 12 = $4,800, it produced $336 profit for you. At age 64, it produced $70,000 for you that year. If you start investing a year later than age 25, you won’t be a millionaire until age 66.

    Remember, money goes into your retirement account but doesn’t come out until you are rich. Also, that 7% figure is an average. Some years, you start the year with $100,000 in your account, add another $4,800, and at the end of the year, you have $84,000. Don’t freak out. Next year your gains will bring it up to $115,000.

    To be an entrepreneur, find a need and fill it. Don’t give up control, but do hire the talent you need.

    This is called exponential growth. Even small additions to a series become huge if iterated enough.

    The problem with your logic is inflation. Nominal gains don't matter as much as net gains.

    They/we can definitely become filthy rich millionairies and uppity rich capitalists but the 'self' part I think is kinda naturally lessened due to the Fe valuing and Te polr and lack of Fi valuing. For SEIs/IEIs I mean - but I mean ESIs and EIIs have low dimensional Te as well even tho it's valued. Ugh I'm not trying to virtue signal, we're still obviously being selfish but the self-made part is lessened due to the ethics and not being some LIE.

    I have a very rich IEI celebrity mentor friend who wrote for TV shows. I think sometimes he does look down on me because of his wealth not really his type, but he's also fascinated and interested in me and ask to meet me once and we can easily talk about lots of things because we're identical.

    Fe organically has a commie-ness to it even if it's not in reality being all that commie. So I think we naturally roll our eyes at some of the stereotypical self made self but definitely can happen.

    I still have my pie in the sky dreams of making a video game that sells really well lolol.

    IEI can become millionaires. Our civilisation at the moment rewards strategic thinking and making money in the last decades had a lot to do with being patient. They also have the suggestive Se so some people of this type very much strive to be succesful, accomplished, wealthy etc.

    I'd bet money that Rowling is an Alpha SF. When I dove into her first Harry Potter book, it was like water encountering oil.

    Funny thing is that Rowling has the vultology of an Fi valuer, I'd say TeSi.
    Maybe you really are an EIE.

    I'm joking, this is based on 2 minutes of a video, but she really has the vultology of delta from what I saw. What does it mean in socionics, nothing probably.

    Hey. I've been on and off for quite a while. I've been through a lot; and I really mean a lot. And yeah, we all were kind of immature back in the day. But, hey, it's the only life I'm going to live and I'm glad you've been a part of it, however tiny part it is.

    I mean, I'm happy to see you again! Thanks for the heads up.
