Most people are missing the point a bit here. Survivorship bias doesn't relate to people who worked hard, improved themselves and now earn 1-10MM/yr. There are loads of stories like that.
Survivorship bias is "Zuck did X, Y and Z, if I do the same then I'll be a multi-billionaire too!"
Following the playbook of those that made it into the top 0.001% is foolish and does not properly account for the large part luck played in their success.
There's no survivorship bias in going to med school, becoming a specialist and then earning 400k/yr.
