1. People with money get access to special opportunities
That sexy IPO or amazing tech start-up you would love to invest in gets their retail subscriptions from high net worth individuals & dedicated funds
Basically you get a chance to invest before anyone else. It's a network

2. Compounding
Reinvestment is one reason why some of the world's longest running asset managers are able to show incredible returns over the longer run despite tracking the market year on year
Invest R100
Year 1: 4%
Year 2: 5%
Year 3: 6%
R115?
No. It's R115.75
It adds up

3. Scaling up!!
You have a portfolio of R10k. You make a 80% return. Congrats you have R8k
Someone else owns a snake & has a portfolio of R100k. They make only a 9% return. They have R9k
Your capital had to work harder for the same returns quantum

4. Ability to leverage
When you have money it's easier to secure loans against your assets.
Private equity funds, for example, deploy a small fraction of limited partner (investor) money and buy out assets using tiered leverage to maximize equity returns.

5. Money buys you time
If you're living month to month it doesn't give you the time or energy to focus on long term wealth creation.
Rich folks can take that gap year or study a useless degree "for fun". Most people don't have the luxury of time.

6. Money attracts money
If you're able to raise R100m for your company, it's easier to raise an extra R5m.
If you have to raise R5m right now starting from zero? It's a mountain to climb.
People invest when they see other people investing. It gives them a sense of comfort.
