The phrase "built not bought" means inherited wealth came from ancestors who endured hardship to create it, not from simply purchasing success. Real fortunes are forged through struggle, not inherited as finished goods.
Build, not bought means you got to go through the fire to get to the other side of it, man. It's, you know, you see where perfect example, if some dude has, you know, a crazy inheritance and he's able to go just buy these businesses and these things off and he's sitting in the yacht club doing his thing, whatever, he bought all that because somebody provided it for him. Now, somewhere down his family line, it was built and it was not bought. Somebody had to go through the fire to get there.
