Me giving you a dollar doesn't create.

The rich extracting wealth from the poor doesn't create.

Investors buying existing housing stock doesn't create.

Mine it. Make it. Improve it. Brings wealth into existence.

Note that financially large businesses/individuals are a mix of wealth creation and transference.

That one word comment implies a lot of the wealthiest people have not created much wealth in comparison with how much they managed to transfer.

But you aren't going to give me a dollar.

The rich will sell you things they created, but it is illegal for them to extract it from you.

Buying existing houses means the seller realizes the wealth he created.

Transference is called "stealing" and is illegal (unless the government does it).
