Probably the best way to become rich as a non-rich person is to convince other rich people to invest in some company you make (during a time like the present when they're flush with cash and desperate to find places to invest it).

Of course, convincing them to invest money in you largely depends upon you being a person they like and find competent (which generally requires being rich, or at least well-off, yourself).

This has to be a large percentage of the economy. Some of the startups I've worked for were very up front about their goal of attracting someone from the 0.1% to open their wallet. We'd labour over some shiny trinket, lathering it in market speak and lofty aspirations, so we could pitch it to some investor who'd be our winning lottery ticket. So much wasted time and energy over a silly song and dance, but it's apparently a valid survival tactic in a world where the haves have way too much.
