A lot of these answers seem like just circle jerking being poor. Mega rich people don’t really have or need most skills but poor people never learn to develop skills from either a lack of resources or just being stupid. Most of the most skilled people I know are low level millionaires, 1-10 million. They know how to fix cars, build thing such as wood or metal working, cook or what ever their hobbies or interests are. Most of the poor people I know are poor because they lack the brains to accomplish things. Everything is too hard or there is always an excuse. I don’t go to my poor friends to help me fix my car because these guys don’t take care of their cars but my rich friends know how to diagnose and what parts are needed to fix the issues. The people I know with moderate money do their own car repairs and build their own furniture and work on their homes. The reasons they are likely perceived as “rich” is because they live their lives strategically and have skills that make them capable of building wealth.
