Not necessarily.  Maybe they don't care about building wealth. 

Most wealthy people own a business.  Running a business is hard work.  Hard work includes physical and mental work.  Running a construction company involves physical work.  Running a doctor's office requires mental work.   

Maybe they do care about building great wealth only they're not capable of doing it.

I've had a few different businesses & none of them required much hard physical labour,
Running around & organising- most of the metal 'hard work' revolved around other
People - managing them & get them to work as required etc.


Go digging out trenches with a shovel in 35+c heat or -5+c temps & compare that to
Mental 'hard work'  vast difference in who tired you feel at the end of your shift.

I know which I'd choose every day of the week .  😊

Hard work is not limited to physical labor. 

I could never do blue collar work.  Not my talent and it's definitely difficult.  I would rather just lift heavy things in the gym.

'Hard work' is physical labour.

Working at a computer or doing other mind related work Isn't Hard Work.
Stressful yes. The 2 are very different. 

I'll do either to earn money.
