They administer human fates and have huge net worths. Every now and then, printed and online media create ratings of the richest businessmen, actors, singers, sportsmen, and politicians, including presidents. Ordinary people often wonder where the heads of countries can get such big money. What are the sources of their billions of net worth?

One of such methods can be when a person happens to be a successful businessman all his life. Then he saves up a decent capital. Afterwards, he or she can win an election and become a president. A striking example is US President Donald Trump.
