I’ve heard somewhere that 85% of billionaires are first generation billionaires meaning they made their own money. I’m sure while they were making money they also had similar struggles to you and I.

I think if you work harder, faster, smarter and have some luck you will succeed no matter what and have some extra time to reflect on your life also.

It's about 80% of millionaires and billionaires.

Which sounds much more reasonable when you consider that many small businesses owners will be millionaires but not enough to be considered super wealthy. No evidence that billionaires are mostly self-made.

Which billionaires are being complained about that aren't self made? I suppose MacKenzie Scott-types, but I'd be happy to class them as self-made in that she wasn't born into billions. And I don't think anyone especially objects to her.

If you look at the list of top 10 richest in US, they are all founders. If you look at the top 25, there are a lot of Walton, Koch, and Mars.

> I think if you [...] and have some luck you will succeed no matter what

Ignoring the politics of it, this wording is pretty funny to me.
