Of course wealth also comes from other peoples' labor.
That's what happens when companies invest, grow, and hire more people.
All boats get to rise with a favorable tide of economic improvement.

It is the Capitalist way. How do you think we got to be the largest economy in the world? By voting for people like Mamdani or AOC, or Bernie Sanders?
How do you think the Southern aristocracy survived so long during the time slavery? By productivity improvements or by using slave labor?
I like to believe my minimal success was trough OPM.
And that is either 'other peoples' money. Or 'other peoples' mistakes'.
Both work to create wealth.

The US became the largest economy in the world based on abusing labor. Perhaps you've forgotten...

Lol, seen it all. Supposed "tax is theft" conservatives cheering on paying taxes. It's the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

Simple answer to your politically loaded question:

Billionaires get to where they are by:
Using other peoples' money; their labor; the laws; increased productivity, and excellent marketing savvy.
You want to attribute their wealth to nefarious means? go ahead.
Being envious of other peoples' wealth won't get you anywhere unless people are starving and a Bastille is ready to be stormed by the hungry rabble.

"Many working Americans qualify for food stamps, officially known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), due to low wages and limited benefits. A significant portion of SNAP recipients are employed, with a substantial number working in low-paying jobs. Eligibility for SNAP is primarily based on income, with gross monthly income generally limited to 130% of the federal poverty line, and net income (after deductions) at or below the poverty line."

Thank you President Trump!

This is a tax on the poor and middle class, while the Republicans cut income taxes on the rich.

If you wanted federal revenue, you should wanted no change in the income tax laws or, hark -- raise taxes on the rich.
