Sure, always a way to find someone else to blame for everything.

People who are successful never make these kinds of comments. Because they don't matter. They are irrelevant. Success in the US is decoupled from a privileged standing in life. People from all walks of life can be successful.

And, BTW, being a billionaire isn't the milestone. Most people would feel wealthy with incomes in the $10K to $25K range (depending on where they live in the US). This does not require PhD parents and two years at Harvard. In fact, most people who start businesses making, say, $1MM+ a year probably don't have more than a high school education. Yet, they do have a lot of grit.

The victim mentality of blaming the rich might be fulfilling to some but it is utter bullshit. I am not talking about the rest of the world here. In the US, this is pure nonsense. The opportunities available today in the US have never been better.
