My grandpa became a multi-millionaire even though he dropped out of middle school. Born into a working class German family where no one really valued education. Good luck doing that now.

Grammar edit, guess we still don't value education.

I don't think I understand your point. The majority of multi-millionaires aren't that way because they got a good education and worked a standard job. Most are because they made good investments, started a company, or were born into money. Dropping out of middle school is pretty unrelated to this if you're a smart, enterprising person.

Don't forget luck!

He became a multi-millionaire in middle school?

Most certainly meant to write 'even though he dropped out...'. Though that would certainly be something.

Quite doable now for the enterprising middle-schoolers making ASMR and unwrapping videos.
