Proof that wealth is a masculine trait, especially self-made wealth.

Still, more than 90% of billionaires are men. Perhaps that should come as no surprise, considering that just over 5% of CEO positions in Fortune 1,000 companies are held by women. Women currently hold 99 of the 535 seats in Congress: 20 of the 100 seats in the Senate, and 79 of the 435 seats in the House of Representatives, according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. And 60 of the 172 active judges currently sitting on the 13 U.S. federal courts of appeal are women, according to the National Women’s Law Center.

The chick who created the "revolutionary" new blood test company? She's now worth zero.

The fact is, women have no incentive to build wealth, men do. The rewards far outweigh the risks, for women it's the opposite. Neither do they have the propensity to taking risks, or the fortitude, courage, consistency that wealth creation typically requires.

Not a good persuasive point because it's confirmation bias for everybody.

If you're "manosphere" this is proof that men are more capable.

If you're a SJW, this is proof that male privilege is real.

[Laurifer]

It's a misogynistic conspiracy to keep women oppressed, the only solution is government intervention.

Kind of surprised it's that low. What percentage of self-made billionaires are women, versus inheritors?

^ Extremely low %, gonna dig it up one sec.
Edit: Found it, wrote it last year so the numbers aren't current. Also the math ain't perfect, but the gist holds.

Now, to address the question you posed, at the highest levels of play, it is EXTREMELY rare to find women acting on their own initiative. Here is an example taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World's...aires_2014:

Quote:

A total of 1,645 people made the 2014 billionaire list, represented combined wealth of $6.4 trillion. Of those, a record 268 were newcomers, surpassing 2008's 226 newcomers. The list included 42 female newcomers. One hundred people listed in 2013 failed to make the list. The number of women on the list rose to a record 172 in 2014, up from 138 the previous year. However, only 12 of them were completely self-made without the help of parents or spouses. Overall, 66% of the list was self-made, 13% achieved their wealth through inheritance alone, and 21% through a mixture of the two. The combined wealth of the top 20 rose from $714.5 billion to $838.6 billion.

Let's break this down!

Out of 268 newcomers, only 42 were women. 42/268 = 15.6% of newcomers were women. Further, only 12 were self-made. Contrast this to (268 newcomers - 42 female newcomers) = 226 male newcomers *average of 66% of the list being self-made = about 150 self made men (it's actually higher because the 66% is brought down by non-self-made women from previous years).

Even with the higher post-secondary education enrollment rates and all the scholarships and entrepreneurial programs specifically designed for women, they still don't have the right combination of guts, drive, and smarts to play at the highest levels.

However, I think the main reason women won't make it to the top is that their biology itself doesn't want to. I recommend reading this highly insightful post by The Reactionary Tree. It's full of gems that can be applied to more than one area: http://www.rooshvforum.network/thread-43...#pid921157

Quote:

Women use coercion and persuasion over men as a means to get things done. This is the anatomy of female power. Women have always avoided positions of authority because with being in a position of authority comes responsibility and accountability. Women have a strong aversion to responsibility and accountability. You see this in even the most mundane social interactions like, "where should we go for dinner?"

Double edit: Just want to say that the main reason libtards get their panties up in a bunch over this is because they confuse equal opportunities for equal outcomes.

Typical statistics. The same stats, can bolster two different opinions. As Easy C said, it's just more fodder for feminazis, and confirmation in our beliefs for us.

2015, so that Theranos chick, and...oh wait, now we're at 96%.

I wonder if the Walmart women count as "self-made" since they run the company and presumably grew the wealth significantly, even if they didn't start the idea. It'd be fair to count them really, plenty of rich CEOs didn't start the company they run.

[catoblepa]

the craziest thing is that male billionaire are those promoting feminist propaganda because it's profitable. when it ceases to be lucrative, they will disinvest from feminist rhetoric in the blink of an eye.

[Que enspastic]

Who are the self-made billionaire women (Theranos doesn't count). Can someone please list here.

Only one I can think of is the creator of Spanx.

Oprah.

How can a woman make you a millionaire?

If you’re already a billionaire.

[Mochihunter]

Honestly, I'm surprised the percentage is that low. I was expecting the percentage to be closer to 95%

[Mr. D]

In other bits of research, water is wet.

Clearly this is because of the wage gap

What a surprise!

[Undercover]

That's because men are money production machines, women are crafty money extraction machines.

A woman should be happy guys put in more effort. Not cry about a wage gap.
