How to get rich, it's simple really but too late for me, join a growing company, work your way from the bottom to the top.

0.3% of US companies have over 500 people. If you are in those 0.3%, you will have less than 1% chance to the top. Just by the numbers, very few people will be at the top medium or large size companies. To be a founder of medium or large company, as well as rising to the top in such company, is always a low probability. To be a founder of a small company would be easier. To work for a medium or large company as employee would be easier. When you are young, you can choose. When 60 or people with other "red flag", probably don't have much possibility to get a job paying more than minimum wage, therefore to be a founder may be only choice.
