They were spoiled growing up and were given everything they wanted. They partied alot more than I did.

I paid my way through university, bought my first house when I was 23 and then switched careers to a strictly commission based profession that requires no post secondary education at all.
Along the way, I never bought fancy clothes or vehicles and I saved my money.

My cousins are now working dead end jobs, have no money or are taking a loosy goosy post secondary degree that they wont finish for a long time and won't give them a good career.

My cousins always say I am so 'lucky' to have what I have.
Luck has nothing to do with it.

Hard work, sacrifice, common sense and having a vision will have played a part in making me alot richer now then they will ever be.

The system or inequality isn't keeping my cousins poor.
They are keeping themselves poor by being lazy and stupid.

Kevin O'Leary may not be a nice guy, but atleast with him, what you see is what you get.
He speaks the truth. Other Sharks or Dragon Den (past or previous) might pay lip service to 3.5 Billion living in poverty, but what have they really done to help the 3.5 Billion?
Your cousins are not part of the 3.5 Billion.
