Business ownership for wealth

Most significant private wealth is built through ownership — of a business, a property, or an asset that generates returns without requiring proportional labor. The employed person trades time for money; the owner builds something that continues to produce after they stop. This is not a moral argument for ownership over work, but an honest account of how wealth accumulates.
