Honestly, it's not that hard to make a truckload of money if you start off with a busload of money (in this analogy, the truck's bigger). Capitalism is pretty much built to ensure that the rich will either stay rich or get richer unless they're completely irresponsible with said riches.
And paying attention to trends isn't a stroke of genius, either. As for marketing, the 'fresh rebel tech magnate' turned out to be just a shitposter without the proper context in which to "shine," nothing more.
If we can spot these trends while working 9-5, then an idiot can probably spot them if they spend 40 hours a week on it.
