I don't know why so many feel the need to reduce the effort, skill, and ingenuity of these founders and builders as if them building a Berkshire, Amazon, or Tesla was a given.

It was not a given, but these people are serial coin-toss winners and lazy observers claim they found a way to have an edge in the 50:50 coin toss odds.
In reality if you take a sample of 8 billion people somebody is bound to record 10,000 consecutive coin toss wins , and not because they consciously found a way to crack the coin toss process, but purely because of luck and law of large numbers
The initial hand over of money from rich parents is just the very start of wins in the long series of coin toss wins.
Math does not check out. Perhaps you meant around 33 consecutive coin toss wins?
Each and every event going their way.
AFAICT, if everyone in the world flipped a coin 10000 times the longest streak would most likely be around 33.
Today there seems to be a trend of saying that simply if you were born in a society, you're not self made, because after all, you didn't pave your own roads! This is just bizarre to me because everyone has access to roads and other basic functions of society.
If someone created a billion dollar fortune in their own lifetime, there's likely some unique and interesting character traits that they have.
