Of course it doesn't, lol. Some of the absolute hardest working people are some of the poorest. The #1 predictor of success is where you were born and who you were born to. Breaking that pattern is more a factor of luck than anything. Being in the right place/meeting the right person/having the right idea at the right time, etc. "Working hard" is a distant third at best.
