You can make a huge fortune if you can figure out how to create and sell software with vendor lock-in. Oracle is expert at this with its database and ERP software that its customers cannot easily swap out.

They cannot swap out because the swap targets don't have the same features.

creating a fund that stores capital in S&P500, only allowing the current beneficiary to withdraw half the last year's returns. write a book on your philosophies, so when the amount held by the trust becomes sizeable (in a few generations) your lineage and thought patterns will be preserved.
come up with a cool libertarian-esque idea for original tech and ask Peter Thiel for funding. this shouldn't be too difficult, just read a sci-fi book and pick out something that hasn't been done, is interesting, and that you could reasonable solve on a technical level by yourself.
Normal people don't install software anymore (even apps (being a bazinga-tier geek isn't cool anymore (ask me how I know))). You have to sell a whole suite of software, preferably to businesses, that claims (and always fails) to solve every single technology-related problem they encounter.
I've even had a couple early-20s people tell me that installing an adblocker in their browser was "too complicated".

Freshman year of college I lived next to a guy who unironically wore a sheldon shirt around that had a lightning bolt and "bazinga" printed on the front. 6 years later I look at the same first-year compsci class that we took together, and it's full of wannabe normans (and 10x as many chinese).
It's not really an interesting story I don't know why I wrote that.

It's not worth it going to college just to be a disposable programmer (sorry, "software engineer") that makes less (relative to cost of living) than a construction worker did in the 60s.

In fact I'm pretty sure one of my coworkers (or executives?) was running a defective one trading options for the company I work for. You could bid for calls at pretty much any price and it would see the bid and instantly sell them to you. I'm not sure why they were doing that but it has to be a defect. I got a few at something like 10% the price most of the trades were going at. I didn't want to abuse it because I felt bad for the other guy.
That sounds like suspicious software.

Closed source proprietary software with vendor lock in. For example, SAP and Oracle ERP.
Software as a Service. You can't really pirate if the software is on the server and (in the event it ends up being leaked) requires too much resources to run on most computers.
requires too much resources to run on most computers.
You can do better by keeping weekly updates which break compatibility with previous versions, and adding new features every now and then, so any user with an old version is forced to keep up paying to have the latest version. It also helps to provide your software exclusively through a restrictive medium like the android and ios "app stores"
Otherwise if the software does some form of online activity you can keep checking that the user has paid, and change the code for that with every update so as to avoid circumvention through reverse engineering.

That reminds me of the dirty tactics used by textbook publishers. The same tactics could perhaps be used for software.
