Please provide some examples of wealthy people taking the fruit of others efforts in the most common ways this occurs. I'm especially curious about those who are robbed of their retirement from the wealthy.

Of course the future is unpredictable for all people; it's just that those with more means and preparation are better situated to overcome adversity when it eventually comes their way.

Death is predictable in that it's inevitable, there's boundaries for the duration, and probabilities for what that duration will be.
