What industries do your wealthiest clients work in?

I’m curious to hear from people who work in finance, wealth management, accounting, private banking, estate law, etc.
Without revealing anything personal or breaking confidentiality, what industries or fields do your wealthiest clients tend to come from ( UHNW )?
Are they mostly business owners, tech founders, real estate developers, doctors, finance executives, something else entirely?

People get rich from the most unbelievable careers - guy I went to hs with back home, his dad owned a patent for a specific part used in porta potties (don't know what he did before that though) and now has a mansion on the water in the most expensive part of town - prob 6-7mil. Tennis court, indoor swimming pool and everything. The napkins in the bathrooms even have his last initial on them. And no, I am not making this up.
