Where to make rich friends? (alien.top)

I'm starting to realize that to get rich, one needs to hang out with rich people but I'm not sure where to meet them. The only places I can think of are Silicon Valley and New York (no I don't know where in New York they are).

Why have rich friends?

If they didn't make the money themselves, they at least know people who did can learn from them
They're the ideal customer because they can pay more for the same product

Any friendship you have to be worth their time too - it has to be mutual. So you can't just join a group of "rich people".

The real way to do it is to learn, learn, learn, try, perhaps fail, learn, try again, maybe fail again, learn more, try more, succeed. And network with people along the way. A person you just meet generally, unless they're feeling philanthropic towards you or have an attraction to you for some reason, won't just readily spend time teaching you things or bring you in to make you rich. It has to be of some mutual benefit. Think about what you can bring to the table as well and use that to network. Keep learning along the way, the more you know, the more valuable you become.
