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

I’m going to be honest. I know many wealthy people and I met them all through current friends or family. You have to have a connector to one and then get in good with that person and they will connect you to many more.

I did not come from money but have built a solid network of people with lots of money. If I can think on how it would be this path.

Majored in finance undergrad
Join a fraternity
Met multiple fraternity brothers from wealthy families
Expressed interest in what their families did business wise
Had them connected me to many other figures in my metro and got two internships in college
Expanded on those relationships at my internship
My internships lead to employment and my current career

Lastly I have two wealthy extended family members that will answer my call anytime and that helps. However that doesn’t mean they will ever give me a dime.
