I agree with most of it. Plenty of people have gotten "rich" working for someone else. That's undoubtedly true.

Not everyone has the ability, work ethic, brilliance, and 50 other things required to be an entrepreneur and/or and innovator, let alone a leader. Most of the time, people are just lazy and want the easy way out. So they empower themselves with bullshit reads like "start a company and be rich" when they have zero drive in the first place. Most people that are "rich" never became rich because they wanted money money money - they believed in something, worked day in and day out to accomplish when everyone else told them they're crazy. But they kept at it, worked hard, sacrificed, and money was a result of this.
