There's one of those beaver posts. Sweet. Anyway, laboring is the most straightforward way, as in getting a job. It is also the most taxing. Literally in the form of income taxes, but also in form of time and effort. In fact, I would say the main reason our society goes to shit is that capable people get stuck in wage-slave work that saps them of the energy to notice or do anything about the problems around them.
Two other forms of income wealth are recognized by taxation: Passive income and Capital Gains. Passive income is for artists and basically is for royalties. You pay next to nothing for royalties in taxes in order to encourage a usually non-profitable venture. But unless you are nicely creative it might not be a practical means of income.
Capital gains is how you get Warren Buffet's in the world. When you buy a stock, which is just a tiny piece of ownership in a business, and the price of that stock goes up you get capital gains. This is only taxed once you sell the stock, and if you die and pass it onto your heirs they get the capital gains reset at whatever value it is upon transfer. Everyone can and should learn the basics of stock ownership and get some, probably an index fund, and hold it forever in order to bolster their estate. The people who get hyper-wealthy are those who get stocks in a business that then flourishes/sells for a high price, like Elon Musk or others.
Now, that's why I say make a business. It is hard, hard work ripe with struggle to ennoble yourself, and if you do it right you will not only generate wealth for yourself, but wealth for your employees, co-owners, and society. Even better if your product is ennobling or useful itself, then you directly help that way too. It isn't for everyone, just like labor or artistry isn't for everyone. But if you want to generate a good amount of wealth for yourself and others, it is the way to go.
How? Most cities have entrepreneurship groups that are very happy to help others. These often can be free. You can also get endless education on how to start businesses in any library or online. And while you study you can get a job, invest your money responsibly, and collect people in your community to do cheap community enrichment like pick up garbage, paint some houses, grow some plants, shovel some walks, etc etc… that draws more people to you and betters your volk as you accrue wealth.
